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 wanna make her mine

And she's watchin' him with those eyes

And she's loving 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 play along with the 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 watchin'

Him with those eyes

And she's loving 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
