Me and Mrs. Jones Lyrics

[00:28.06] Me and Mrs. Jones
[00:35.78] We got a thing goin' on
[00:47.60] We both know that it's wrong
[00:51.35] But it's much too strong
[00:54.90] To let it go now
[01:02.68] We meet every day at the same café
[01:08.08] Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
[01:17.00] Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
[01:23.18] While the jukebox plays our favorite songs
[01:28.24] Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
[01:34.78] Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
[01:39.91] We got a thing goin' on
[01:51.69] We both know that it's wrong
[01:55.77] But it's much too strong
[01:58.54] To let it go now
[02:07.40] We gotta be extra careful
[02:14.05] That we don't build our hopes up too high
[02:21.68] 'Cause she's got her own obligations
[02:28.23] And so, and so do I
[02:32.85] Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
[02:39.68] Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
[02:44.81] We got a thing goin' on
[02:56.92] We both know that it's wrong
[03:00.43] But it's much too strong
[03:03.04] To let it go now
[03:12.08] Well, it's time for us to be leaving
[03:18.33] It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
[03:27.15] Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
[03:31.63] Tomorrow we'll meet
[03:33.27] The same place, the same time
[03:37.73] Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
[03:44.25] Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
[03:49.71] We got a thing goin' on (thing)
[03:58.25] We gotta be extra careful (goin' on)
[04:01.99] We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
[04:11.97] I wanna meet (thing) and talk with you
[04:14.74] At the same place (goin' on), the same café, the same time
[04:20.39] And we gonna hold hands like we used to
[04:22.79] We gonna talk it over, talk it over
[04:27.05] (Thing) we know, they know (goin' on), and you know
[04:31.46] And I know that it was wrong
[04:34.45] But our thing is strong, we gotta let 'em know now
[04:39.01] That we got a thing going on, a thing going on
