Featuring both Coheed and Cambria and Rick Springfield himself, the sequel track to Springfield’s iconic 1980’s hit Jessie’s Girl imagines what would have happened if Springfield actually got his wish but it turned out to be a far cry from the dream girl he expected and the diabolical nature of Jess...
[Verse 1: Claudio Sanchez]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
I don't love you no more
(Jessie's girl, lose Jessie's girl and)
Things will get better
[Verse 2: Claudio Sanchez]
Sure, I probably deserved it
(Damn right, yеs you did, damn right yes you did, boy)
What kind of friend was I?
The huntеr became the hunted
(Strange to me then, makes sense to me now)
When I creeped into her life
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3: Rick Springfield]
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
[Chorus: Claudio Sanchez & Rick Springfield]
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
[Outro: Claudio Sanchez & Rick Springfield]
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
