There’s talk on the street; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations  everybody’s watching you
People you meet  they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new
Johnnye lately  the new kid in town
Everybody loves you  so don’t let them down
You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics  here we go again
But after awhile  you’re lookin’ the other way
It’s those restless hearts that never mend
Johnnye come  lately  the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you’re not around
There’s so many things you should have told her
But night after night you’re willing to hold her
Just hold her  tears on your shoulder
There’s talk on the street  it’s there to remind you
That it doesn’t really matter
Which side you’re on
You’re walking away and they’re talking behind you

They will never forget you ’til somebody newescomes along

Where you been lately  There’s a new kid in town
Everybody loves him  don’t they
Now he’s holding her  and you’re still around
Oh  my  my
There’s a new kid in town
Just another new kid in town
Ooh  hoo
Everybody’s talking ’bout the new kid in town
Ooh  hoo
Everybody’s walking’ like the new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t want to hear it
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t want to hear it
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
