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 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 ‘n’ 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
Where can I find a woman like that
I play along with the 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
‘Cos 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
Where can I find a woman,
Jessie’s girl,
I wish that I had jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman,
Where can I find a woman like that

And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time,
Wondering what she don’t see in me
I’ve been funny,
I’ve been cool with the lines
Ain’t that the way
Love supposed to be

You know, I wish that I had jessie’s girl,
I wish that I had jessie’s girl
I wish that I had jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman
Jessie’s girl,
I wish that I had jessie’s girl,
I wish that I had jessie’s girl.
