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 mineAnd she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at nightYou know
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like thatI 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'Cause she's watching 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 nightYou know
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like thatLike Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman
Where can I find a woman like thatAnd I'm looking 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 beTell me, where can I find a woman like thatYou know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can 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'
