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

Yeah, 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 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

I want 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
