Jessie’s Girl (Encore) Songtext
von Rick Springfield

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
Yeah, 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
Why can′t I find 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 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


You know, I wish that I had Jessie′s girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Why can′t I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie′s girl
Why can't I find a woman?
Why can't I find a woman like that?

And I′m lookin′ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' 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
I want Jessie′s girl
Why can't 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
