Jessie’s Girl Songtext
von Mary Lambert

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 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!
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 her, a woman like that?


I′ll play along with this 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 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 night

You know I wish that I had Jessie′s girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie′s girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find her, a woman...
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

And 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′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
Where can I find her, a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie′s girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl
