JUEVES - LYRICS ("Me And Mrs Jones – Billy Paul")

- Me And Mrs Jones – Billy Paul
 
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
I know, 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.
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, and so do I.
 
Me and Mrs, Mrs. Jones
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.
 
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, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones.
We got a thing going on.
 
We gotta be extra careful.
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high.
I wanna meet and talk to you
at the same place, the same cafe, the same time,
and we're gonna hold hands like we used to.
We gonna talk it over, talk it over.
We know, they know
and you know and I know it was wrong,
but I'm thinking strong.
We gotta let 'em know now
that we got a thing going on, a thing going on.
 
- Notas: La canción cuenta la historia de una infidelidad matrimonial de la que participan dos personas que todos los días se reúnen en una cafetería a la misma hora. Reconocen que lo que hacen esta mal, pero es una atracción demasiado fuerte como para ponerle fin.
Según el autor, la idea surge de un bar situado cerca de su compañía discográfica, y en el que veían a una pareja que se reunía cada tarde. Con la canción intentan inventarse la que podría ser la historia de esta pareja.
- 1. “…holding hands…” = Es lo que hace una pareja cuando se cogen de la mano como muestra de afecto.
- 2. “…jukebox…” = Esta es la máquina que antes había en los bares y en la que echando una moneda se podía elegir una canción para que sonara en el local.
