Jessica Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My bathing suit's drying on the Porsche
My mother is crying upstairs
It’s bad, man
You bad man
And all I want is my Jessica
Mine Jessica
Mine Jessica
Mein hessikan
Mein hessikaner
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

[Hook]
You can let me off of the leash
I won’t come near ya
I won’t come near ya
Teach me to bark
Teach me to speak
I won’t come near ya
I won’t come near ya
Some girls, they call the shots
Other girls might call you schatz

But, Jessica you’re the girl
I love you lots
I love your locks and your lox and your lahks
[Verse 2]
My physical it looms on the schedule
I wanna be healthy for you
I hope it’s not bad, man
You’re bad, man
Cause all I want is my Jessica
Mi Jessica
Me necesita coronita jessica
Mein jessikaner jahtzenheimer hessika
Mine Jessica
Mine Jessica

[Hook]
You can let me off of the leash
I won’t come near ya
I won’t come near ya
Teach me to bark
Teach me to speak
I won’t come near ya
I won’t come near ya
Some girls, they call the shots
Other girls might call you schatz

But, Jessica you’re the girl
I love you lots
I love your locks and your lox and your lahks
[Bridge]
Dein Gesicht und mein Gesicht könnten gute freunde sein
Dein Gesicht und mein Gesicht könnten gute freunde sein
Dein Gesicht und mein Gesicht könnten gute freunde sein
Dein Gesicht und mein Gesicht könnten gute freunde sein
Dein Gesicht und mein Gesicht könnten gute freunde sein


[Chorus (Shortened)]
Teach me to burn
Teach me to speak
I won’t come near ya
I won’t come near ya
Some girls, they call the shots
Other girls might call you schatz
But, Jessica you’re the girl
I love you lots

Genius Annotation

“Jessica” seems a thematic throwback to the days of Ezra Koenig’s band’s debut album. On that album, a majority of songs referenced class and questions of where Ezra sat on its spectrum. Girls were usually at the centre of those quandaries.

“Jessica” comes from a younger perspective however, with a narrator meeting another younger person, on a vacation. Whether the narrator is wealthy is to be determined but it’s obvious she is (her name alone).

There’s a real pedestal mentality as well, with the titular girl literally ‘calling the shots’ and having a mystical, profound lustre. It’s a song about young love and overbearing fascination to someone who might not even return your feelings – or even your gazes.
