To someone new you're about to go
But after the charm has passed
You'll come back because I know
The new wears off too fast
You're like a kid with a brand new toy
But the luster just won't last
Your latest love is a passing joy
Cause the new wears off too fast
You find a fascination
In loving someone new
They draw you like a magnet
And then you say, "We're through"
The love you thought was pure as gold
Was just as cheap as brass
I knew his love would soon grow old
Cause the new wears off too fast
You say you found another one
Who's really in your class
But you'll find he's not your kind
Cause the new wears off too fast
All that glitters is not gold
Gems alone don't flash
Your one-time fling is a passing thing
Cause the new wears off too fast
You find a fascination
In loving someone new
They draw you like a magnet
And then you say, "We're through"
The love you thought was pure as gold
Was just as cheap as brass
I knew his love would soon grow old
Cause the new wears off too fast
