Jessie's Girl
Rick Springfield Lyrics

Jessie is a friend
I know a guy named Jessie

Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine
I've known Jessie for a while and we've hung out

But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Recently, Jessie has changed and it's noticeable

Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
Jessie has a girlfriend and I am interested in her

And she's watching him with those eyes
The girlfriend is paying attention to Jessie

And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
The girlfriend is clearly attracted to Jessie and showing it physically

Yeah and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
Jessie and his girlfriend are physically intimate in private

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I really want to be with Jessie's girlfriend

Where can I find a woman like that?
I'm looking for a woman like Jessie's girlfriend

I play along with the charade
I pretend to be okay with Jessie and his girlfriend

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
I see no reason to stop pretending

You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I feel guilty (and possibly jealous) when they talk affectionately to each other

I wanna tell her that I love her
I want to express my feelings to Jessie's girlfriend

But the point is probably moot
It's probably pointless because she's already with Jessie

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
I'm always scrutinizing myself in the mirror

Wondering what she don't see in me
I am trying to figure out why Jessie's girlfriend doesn't seem interested in me

I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
I've tried using humor and smooth talk to win her over

Ain't that the way love supposed to be?
Isn't trying to win someone over supposed to be part of the love process?

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
Again, I'm searching for a girl like Jessie's girlfriend

I want Jessie's girl
I really desire to be with Jessie's girlfriend
