Jessie’s Girl

Jessie is a friend,

Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine

But lately something's changed

It ain't hard to define

Jessie's got himself a girl

And I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes

And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!

And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

I'll play along with this charade

That doesn't seem to be a reason to change

You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute

I wanna tell her that I love but the point is probably moot

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes

And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!

And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman...

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time

Wonderin' what she don't see in me

I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines

Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

Tell me why can't I find a woman like that?

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl

I wish that I had Jessie's girl

I want, I want Jessie's girl
