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
