Selenium - Extracting the text from http get request

Question

I am loading the url using driver.get method inside my selenium test

driver.get("myurl");
      String text = driver.getPageSource();

myurl has plain text (which will be expected data for my tests)

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><link title="Wrap Long Lines" href="resource://gre-resources/plaintext.css" type="text/css" rel="alternate stylesheet" /></head><body><pre>**I need this text**</pre></body></html>

Is there any inbuilt method in Selenium to do this OR Do I need to go for Jsoup etc.

Thanks Manali. Your solution worked. Adding the code snippet here >

driver.get("myurl");
    String text = driver.getPageSource();
    String mytext = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//pre")).getText();
    System.out.println(mytext);
