Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We meet every day
In the same cafe
7:30, you know she'll be there
Holding hands
Making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays
Our favorite songs
[Verse 3]
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing
Goin' on
Goin' on, goin' on, goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go
[Verse 4]
We gotta be
Extra careful
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
She's got her own obligations
And so, so, so do I
[Verse 5]
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing
Got a thing
Goin' on
Goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong
To let it go
Let it go
[Verse 6]
You know it's time for us to believe in
You know 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 at the same place at the same time
[Verse 7]
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, oh, yeah
We, we got a thing goin' on
(We got a thing)
We got a thing, we got a thing
(Goin' on)
Meet at the same place at the same time, oh, baby
[Verse 8]
(We got a thing)
And we talk it over, talk it over
Talk it over, talk it over
(Goin' on)
One more time
That's what we talk about
All I know is, all I know is, baby
[Verse 9]
(We got a thing)
If lovin' you was wrong
(Goin' on)
I don't wanna be right
That's all I know
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be right, no, no
(We got a thing)
(Goin' on)
[Verse 10]
Oh
But I guess until we figure that out
I'll see you tomorrow night all night
[Verse 11]
Oh, bye bye, baby
(We got a thing)
Goodnight, honey
Bye bye, baby
(Goin' on)
Ooh, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
[Verse 12]
(We got a thing)
I know all I do is dream about you
(Goin' on)
I can't live without you
I don't know what's wrong or what's right
I only know, I only know what's right tonight
[Verse 13]
(We got a thing)
??????
(Goin' on)
Oh, tell me what you wanna do
?????? take a minute, baby
All I know is I love you, whoa
Woo
[Verse 14]
Can we talk it over?
Can we please talk it over?
One more time, girl
Oh, babe
Don't leave me, yeah
[Verse 15]
Mrs. Jones
Woo
