I haven't been able to get this song out of my head. One of the downsides to Jack-FM coming to my hometown...
Jessie's Girl
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 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 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 mute
'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 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 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 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
Would you believe the Official Rick Springfield website includes the "warning:"
Some material might be inappropriate for people who don't know how to rock.
Yikes.
Yikes.

Next time it might be The Safety Dance...
I'm not sure why this song is so catchy. It gets stuck in my head too, but I hate it. My husband was so hurt when he found out. I told him the lyrics and premise of the song are stupid. This guy thinks this girl is so hot, but he doesn't even use her name in the song. Part of the song that stands out is that, "she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it". He just wants to have sex. I just think it's a shallow song. That fan website is funny.
But you hit the nail right on the head. It's catchy because it captures an artistic truth about the male libido. It's much deeper than it intends to be. It's more profound than Springfield has a right to be.
And the guitar riff rocks!
