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
