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, | | | Absus4 | 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, | | | Absus4 | 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, | | | just hold her, tears on your shoulder.
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.
| | 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)
