Jessie's Girl

Rick Springfield

 

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

CHORUS:

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

'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

CHORUS

Like 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

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that

(Solo)

You 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
