    "Me and Mrs. Jones" is a 1972 #soul song written by #KennyGamble, #LeonHuff, and #CaryGilbert, and originally recorded by #BillyPaul. It describes an extramarital #affair between a man and his lover, Mrs. Jones. In the song, the two meet in secret "every day at the same cafe", at 6:30, where they hold hands and talk. The two are caught in a quandary: "We got a thing going on/we both know that it's wrong/but it's much too strong/to let it go now."
