[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There s talk on the street, it sounds so familiar;
great expectations, ev rybody s watchin you.
People you meet they all seem to know you,
even your old friends treat you like you re somethin new.
[Chorus]
Johnny come lately,
the new kid in town.
Ev rybody loves you,
so don t let them down.
[Verse 2]
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play,
hopeless romantics, here we go again.
But after a while you re lookin the other way,
it s those restless hearts that never mend.
[Chorus]
Johnny come lately,
the new kid in town.
Will she still love you
when you re not around?
[Bridge]
There s so many things you should have told her,
but night after night you re willing to hold her,
     Am7 Â
just hold her, tears on your shoul   der.
[Verse 3]
There s talk on the street, it s there to remind you.
Doesn t really matter which side you re on.
You re walkin away and they re talkin behind you,
they will never forget you til somebody new comes along.
[Chorus]
Where ve you been lately?
There s a new kid in town.
Ev rybody loves him (don t they?)
Now he s holdin her and you re still around.
[Outro]
There s a new kid in town,
just another new kid in town.
Ev rybody s talkin bout the new kid in town.
Ev rybody s talkin bout the new kid in town.
[Outro]
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)
