Me and Mrs. Jones
Michael Bublé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Me and 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 meet every day at the same cafe
6:30 and no one knows 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 up too high
'Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, 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 and I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs., Mrs., Mrs., Mrs. Jones
(Same place)
We both know that it's wrong
(Same time)
Everyday at the same cafe
(Same place)
We got a thing going on, you know it's wrong
(Same time)
But it's much too strong




(Same place)
Me and Mrs. Jones

Overall Meaning

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.

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. 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
