V1 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 want to make her mine

And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change

I wanna tell her that I love her
But the point is probably moot
