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
Johnnycomelately, 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 a while you're looking the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnnycomelately, 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 till somebody new comes 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

Oohoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
Oohoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town
Theres a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it)
Theres a new kid in town (I don't want to hear it)
Theres a new kid in town
Theres a new kid in town

Theres a new kid in town (everybody's talking about)
Theres a new kid in town (people started walking like) Theres a new kid in town
Theres a new kid in town
