Huff is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana; he is currently a student at the University of Oklahoma. Huff auditioned for the third season of American Idol in Houston, Texas; he was a member of the fourth group of semifinalists. He was actually not among those originally chosen for the semifinal round, but was put through when contestant Donnie Williams was disqualified for a drunk driving arrest.
Huff was not voted through to the final round from his group of semifinalists, but got another second chance when he was brought back for the wildcard round and put through as a finalist by contest judge Simon Cowell. During this period, New Orleans Fox Affiliate WVUE would hold specials including Huff's family cheering George on during the latest episodes.
On May 5, 2004, Huff was voted off in fifth place after two renditions of Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" during big band week.
His album, Miracles, was released by Word Records, on October 11, 2005. The first single off that album was Brighter Day. It sold a mere 18,000 copies.
In 2005 his Louisiana home was affected by Hurricane Katrina. He left New Orleans and stayed at his brother's house in Dallas. 1
Me And Mrs. Jones
George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 caf'
Holding hands - making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox play our favourite song.
Me and Mrs. Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' 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 up too high.
'Cause she's got her own obligations
And so ' and so do I...
Me and Mrs. Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' 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.
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. Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones ' Mrs. Jones
We've got a thing going on.
We've 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 caf',
The same time
And we're gonna hold hands like we used to
We're gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know, and you know and I know that it was wrong
But I'll make it strong...
We've gotta let 'em know now
We've got a thing going on...
...thing going on...
The song Me And Mrs. Jones by George Huff speaks about a forbidden love affair between two people who meet every day at a cafรฉ at 6:30 pm. The lyrics talk about how they both know that it's wrong to be involved with each other, but the connection between them is too strong to let it go now. They talk about how they have to be extra careful not to build their hopes up too high, as both of them have their own obligations they need to fulfill.
The song is full of longing, regret, and the pain of a love that cannot be. The lyrics describe the emotions of the man who is in love with Mrs. Jones, and how he wishes he could be with her but knows that it is not possible. The line "We can't afford to build our hopes up too high" is a poignant reminder that they are aware of the consequences of their actions.
In the end, the song speaks about how they have to let go of each other and go their separate ways, but they know that they will meet again at the same place, same time, and hold hands like they used to. The song is a beautiful yet heartbreaking reminder of the pain of forbidden love.
