Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Me And Mrs Jones
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going 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 we don't build our hopes too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations, and so do I
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
And it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
And now she'll go her way, I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs., Mrs., Mrs. Jones
(Same place)
We both know that it's wrong
(Same time)
Everyday at the same place
(Same place)
We got a thing going on, you know it's wrong
(Same time)
But it's much too wrong
(Same place)
Me and Mrs. Jones
The song "Me and Mrs. Jones" tells the story of two people engaged in an extramarital affair, meeting every day at the same cafe. They both know that what they are doing is wrong, but their feelings for each other are too strong to let go. They make plans while holding hands and listening to their favorite song on the jukebox. However, they are also aware of the risks and try to be careful not to get their hopes up too high, as they both have obligations of their own. When it's time to part ways, they feel the pain inside, but they know that they will meet again at the same place the next day.
The lyrics of the song portray the complexity of human relationships and the struggles of temptation and desire. It shows how love can sometimes be a strong force that can cloud one's judgment and make them do things they know are not right. The song also highlights the difficulties of balancing personal and societal expectations, and how people can sometimes find themselves torn between their desires and responsibilities.

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. 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. 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 both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go now

I’ve had the pleasure of being a tour drummer in a big band and I can’t explain the feeling of 20-30 musicians all being “locked in”. It’s one of those things you only experience from the stage. Michael Bublé has perfected a dying art form and does it so masterfully that you can’t help but smile when you notice subtleties like that key change that came out of nowhere and if you weren’t paying attention you’d miss it. Bravo sir, bravo!
