"Jessie's Girl 2" lyrics

"Jessie's Girl 2"
(feat. Rick Springfield)

So, a miracle happened
And I got my wish
You see, Jessie saw it fitting
(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)
I go and take what's his
Oh, he did me dirty

But things got funny as time exposed
That didn't, that didn't, nothing could stop her
The flip side of Jessie's girl that no one knows
She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

Sure, I probably deserved it
(Damn right, yes you did, damn right yes you did, boy)
What kind of friend was I?
The hunter became the hunted
(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)
When I creeped into her life

Oh, so I changed my number
To 867-5305
That didn't, that didn't, that didn't stop her
She wouldn't let me leave her house alive
She's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

It sure seems strange he put up no fight
When she broke his heart that fateful night
Jessie played sincere, he sure seemed cool
What I hadn't known was I was his fool
We're married now, house, job, three kids
Dreaming of what life could have been
Stranded on the if's and maybe's
Had I left that monster in the 80's

I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better

I don't love you, you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Oh, baby, why'd you go and do this to me?
I don't love you no more
No, I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
