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 loving him with that body I just know it 
 And he's holding her in his arms 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 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 loving him with that body I just know it 
 And he's holding her in his arms 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 a woman like that 
 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 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 be 

 Tell me, where can 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 
 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
