"Eat Your Hart Out, Rick Springfield" Lyrics

(Jimmy Hart)

(Spoken) Ring, Ring. "Hello, hello, hi, is Cyndi in?"
"No, who is this?"
"What do you mean, who is this?
This is Jimmy Hart, the mouth of the south. Where is she?"
"She's gone to the Rick Springfield concert!"
"Rick Springfield!?!"

I called my chick
On the phone last night
Her mother said
She was gone for the night
She had two tickets
To a rock n' roll show
To see her Working Class hero

So I jumped in my car
And I cruised downtown
I could hear the music playing
From a mile around
So I got me a ticket
And I walked inside
I could see him standing
there in the spotlight

(chorus)
Eat Your Hart Out, Rick Springfield
'Cause she's my girl
And she will always be
The only girl for me
Ain't no rock 'n roll singer
Gonna take her away from me!

I called my chick the very next day
She was watching TV, Dr. Noah Drake
She said, "He' so handsome and he's so cool."
She made me so sick I wanted to puke!

So I got me a guitar
And some red tennis shoes
And I'm learning how to sing
And I'm learning how to move

I'm writing this song down
Just for you
Then all the girls
Will think I'm so cool!

(Repeat chorus)

Eat Your Hart Out, Rick Springfield
'Cause she's my girl
And she will always be
The only girl for me
Ain't no rock 'n roll singer
Gonna take her away from me!

(spoken)
"Jessie's Girl!?! You wanna steal Jessie's Girl... now you want my girl!"
"Hey baby, you're cruisin' for a bruisin', Rick!"
"When I get my hands on you - whoa!"
"Jessie's Girl, my girl, Everybody's Girl!"
