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
You know i wish that i had jessie's girl
I wish that i had jessie's girl
Why can't i find 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 mute
'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
You know i wish that i had jessie's girl
I wish that i had jessie's girl
Why can't i find a woman like that?
Like jessie's girl
I wish that i had jessie's girl
Why can't i find a woman
Why can't i find 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
You know i wish that i had jessie's girl
I wish that i had jessie's girl
Why can't i find a woman like that?
Like jessie's girl
I wish that i had jessie's girl
I want, i want jessie's girl
