Me & Mrs. Jones

(album: Great American Soulbook - 2009)

Me and Mrs. Jones we've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now

We meet every day at the same café
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands and making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones we've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now

We've gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations and so, so do I

Me, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones we've got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
No, no no, no, no, no

When it's time for us to be leaving
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and sugar I'll go my way
Tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time

Me and, and Mrs. Jones we got a thing going on
Yes we do, yes we do
My, my, my, my lady Jones
I love her, yes I do y'all

We know, they know, you know and I know
We gonna have to talk it over baby
Talk it over
Mrs. Jones you're my lady

My, my, my, my, my, you're my sweet foxy thing baby
And you know I love you but miss that
We can't meet at the same time, at the same place, at the same café
We better talk it over, we're gonna talk it over

You know I love you Mrs. Jones
And this is going on nowhere baby
You go your way and I go my way
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
I love her, yes I do
