Lyrics
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
Johnny come 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
Johnny 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 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
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
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
