Jessie is a friend Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine But lately something's changed, that ain't hard to define Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine And she's watchin' him with those eyes And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it And he's holdin' 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 me a woman like that I'll play along with the charade There doesn't seem to be a reason to change You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin' cute I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot 'Cause she's watchin' him with those eyes And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it And he's holdin' her in his arms, late late at night

And look in the mirror all the time Wonderin' what she don't see in me I've been cool I'm a pimp with the lines Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
