Composición musical de ritmo lento, instrumentación suave y carácter íntimo y expresivo, de asunto generalmente amoroso. Composición poética tradicional del norte de Europa, de estrofas iguales entre las que se intercalaba un estribillo y que solía contar de manera sencilla sucesos legendarios y populares.
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
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
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 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
Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town, oo-hoo
Oo-hoo, he would started walking like the new kid in town, oo-hoo
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 now
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
