80's Flashback of the Day: Jesse's Girl

Singer Rick Springfield

Jesse's Girl

by Rick Springfield

Jesse 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
Jesse'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 Jesse's girl, I wish that I had Jesse'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

'Cos 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 Jesse's girl, I wish that I had Jesse'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 Jesse's girl,
I wish that I had Jesse's girl
I want Jesse's girl,
where can I find a woman like that,
like Jesse's girl,
I wish that I had Jesse's girl,
I want, I want Jesse's girl
