Me And Mrs. Jones
The Dramatics 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 cool down 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
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on, we both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down 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, me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on, we both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down 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
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Me and Mrs. Jones is a song by The Dramatics, released in 1972. The song is about a secret love affair between two people: a man and a married woman named Mrs. Jones. The two know that their relationship is wrong, but they can't resist the strong attraction they have for each other. They meet every day at the same cafe, where they hold hands, make plans, and listen to their favorite song on the jukebox. However, they are both aware of the risks involved and must be careful not to build their hopes too high. They are both committed to other people and have their own obligations, but the bond between them is too strong to ignore.
The lyrics of the song are emotive and powerful, full of yearning, passion, and sadness. The singer's voice is soulful and heartfelt, conveying the intensity of the emotions he feels towards Mrs. Jones. The song touches on themes of forbidden love, infidelity, and the complex emotions involved in an extramarital affair. It's a poignant reminder that love and desire can be as much a curse as a blessing.
