Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - New Romeo lyrics

(A. Call)

She came walkin' in clutchin her silver collection

With her entourage in tow

With that immaculately fashionable-cat

Who must be her new Romeo

I said "Hello how are ya haven't seen you in so long

Tell me now baby how long has it been?

How long has it been?"

And who's the new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?

Man I had enough

I don't now what she sees in him

With his pointed shoes and his poised expression

I admit he throws a mean shape or two

But then again, my confidence is easily shaken

It never has taken much

And a new Romeo

And a new Romeo

So who's the new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?

And then she looked at me

With her bitter green eyes sayin'

Tin angel is what I've become

It's not for you to criticize

Just look at me now

Look at me now

So I said, "Excuse me"

And I got up and I crossed my fingers for luck

I started stumblin' staggerin' baby searching for the shadows

Back behind me she was tellin' 'em, sellin' 'em

New and used faces 'round the dimly lit circle

Of the Thunderstruck

Of the Thunderstruck

Now who's the new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?

Who's that new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?

Who's the new Romeo?
