New Kid in Town Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

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

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don't let them down (ooh-ooh)

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 (oh-oh)

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you′re no 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
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?
And he's holding her, and you′re still around
Oh, my, my

Just another new kid in town
There's a new kid in town (ooh-ooh)
Everybody′s talking 'bout the new kid in town (ooh-ooh)
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
Everybody′s talking
There's a new kid in town
People started walking
There′s a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
