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 There 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 her 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 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
