Lyrics:
Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing, goin' 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 cafe
Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the juke box plays our favorite songs

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones (Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones)
We got a thing, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

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

Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones (Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones)
We got a thing, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

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

Me and Mrs. Jones
We got a thing goin' on
We gotta be extra careful
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet and talk with you
At the same place, the same cafe, the same time
And we gonna hold hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know, and you know what I know that it was wrong
But our thing is strong, we gotta let 'em know now
That we gotta thing going on, a thing going on

[TheRicco]

The smoothest song about adultery ever made. Lol. I love it.

[williammarshaun]

This got to be the smoothest song about cheating that i ever heard in my life..wow😂

[SoniaAndrade-bpls]

*I used to love this song in my previous life. Now that I have reincarnated, I still love it.*

[haroldgillette]

I'm a 69 year old white man, but as a teen, every Satuday, I'd sit in front of the TV, to watch SoulTrain. I remember this episode well.

[unacamper]

I was a white boy on the farm and always watched Soul Train.

[frankcolliton]

63 years young, irish american, and watched soul train every Saturday. God I miss the show, Cornelius, and the musical talents.👍

[courtpaul]

As a 53yrs.old black guy i can definitely say I really appreciate this type of music 🎶 🎵 🙌

[marciarobinson]

Guys are you all watching in 2024☝️🌎🤸💃🎧❤❤❤

[hauntedtown]

50 year old white man from Chicago..grew up with soul train on the tv…songs like this are heaven baby

[holtridge]

The only bad thing about this song is that it has to end.

[phillyguy]

This is one of those songs that you don’t want to end

[RobertBrown-wkoy]

My opinion 70s music is the best music ever made.

[WayneDunlea-exln]

In 2024 I'm a 63 year old Australian Male but back in 1972 I was looking forward to 1973 and being a High school student while Listening to Billy Paul singing about how and when to end seeing the other person and their friends not to mention the cafe that the two of them chose as their favourite meeting place songs regarding affairs within a marriage and the possible outcomes of sorts. With titles like Me and Mrs Jones of course one more was by Mary Magregor called Torn Between Two Lovers, had the voices that were used to tell the stories of adultery sounded shit we probably wouldn't have been listening and inturn buying the single's we needed singer's with open mind's thank you 70'S Your musicians and musical styles can't be copied Wayne Dunlea

[beckymanalili]

Remember watching soul train back home

[ImageByMalcolm]

My mother played this song every single day when she came home from work back in the 70's. Not once, but back to back several times. I was about 6 years old at the time. She played this song so much, I know every word to the song, I sing it perfectly, and when I hear this song playing today, it immediately take me back to those moments as a child sitting under my mother as she play this song. WOW! I miss her so much. Rest In Peace my dear mother. **Tears**

[steelersgirl]
