 Jessie is a friend,
         D        A      Bm             G     A  D
Yeah I know, he's been a good friend of mine
     D     A           Bm                 G      A D
But lately something's changed, it ain't hard to define
          D      A      Bm          G     A        D
Jessie's got himself a girl, and I wanna make her mine
 
Pre-Chorus
           D            A         Bm      G  A  D
And she's watching him with those eyes,
           D           A        Bm      G   A      D
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it,
          D            A      Bm   G    A      D
And he's holding her in his arms, late late at night
 
Chorus
 A                            A  D          A  Bm  Asus4
  You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
  Bm        Asus4 A  D          A  Bm  Asus4  Bm  Asus4
I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
 G      A     D           Bm         A
  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.

I wish that I had Jessie's girl,
 G      A     D           G     A    D
  Where can I find her, a woman,
 G      A     D           Bm         A
  Where can I find her, a woman like that?

 G        D               A
  And I'm looking in the mirror all the time,
 G          D               A
  Wondering what she don't see in me
 G               D                A
  Yeah I've been funny I've been cool with the lines
 G        D                  A
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
