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 wanna make her mine
Pre-Chorus
And 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
Chorus
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 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 want to tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot.
Pre-chorus Chorus Chorus
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,
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
Yeah I've been funny I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

Outro
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 her, a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl,
I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
I want, I want Jessie's girl,
