Lyrics:
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., Mrs. Jones (Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, 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., Mrs. Jones (Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, 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 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 cafe, the same time
And we gonna hold hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know, and you know what I know that it was wrong
But our thing is strong, we gotta let 'em know now
That we gotta thing going on, a thing going on

It's 1972, and I was attending my first dance in Junior High. This really pretty redhead girl walked up to me, and asked me to dance... And a slow dance at that !!!...It was Me And Mrs. Jones.... Man, I was so nervous... That was nearly 52 years ago !!!... We dated through Junior High and High School, and got married in 1980. Three daughters and seven grandchildren... But every now and then we play this song, and slow dance... And we're magically transported back to the gym in 1972.... ❤

[@darth2073]

Man this almost brought a tear to my eyes, you got me believing in real love again haha.

I was born in 1961 in the GDR (East Germany) and was able to listen to the West Berlin radio station RIAS Berlin in the 70s.. “Mrs. Jones” was also on the hit parade, which I still really like to this day. In addition to the great music of our own country, there were so many pieces of music added - it's overwhelming: in addition to the well-known ones that are constantly in our ears, there are also such gems as Mylène Farmer, Joe Bonamassa, Leonid & Friends, Lexington Lab Band... .

How he just performed it, is exactly how he sing it on the record. What a legend.

[@jeremycrandall2899]

Uh....yeah....that’s because he was lip-synching, like a lot of televised musical performances in the 70s, including “Soul Train”. 99.99999999% of the time if you’re watching a video of someone singing on a TV show in the 70s and the song sounds just like it did on the record, it’s because it IS the record! Lol Still a legend, though.😊

[@ProducerGio]

@@jeremycrandall2899 daaaaamn

[@jeremycrandall2899]

I used to think that the reason why so many musicians lip-synched on TV shows in that era was because they didn’t want to risk potentially sounding bad on national TV, but I recently read that what really happened was that shows like “Soul Train”, “American Bandstand”, etc, started forcing musicians to lip-synch cuz bands like War were going on shows and playing extra long versions of their hit songs, and it was messing with the shows’ commercials.

[@mj-gr8uy]

lip sync Awesome song forever ♡

Check out Marvin Gaye singing acapella. Amazing!!
