Me and Miss-es Jones—
  5    5  6   -7     6  6  -5   5  6     6    6    6    -5
We’ve got a thing-- go-ing on—-we both know that it’s wrong, 
 6    6    7   7   -6 6    6  7   7 -6  6
but it’s much too strong- to let it go now.
 
-6  7   -8 -8  7  -6  7   -7   6  6  6   -5  -5   
We meet ev-ry day at the same ca-fe six thir-ty, 
6   7   6   7    -6    6    5 
I know, I know she’ll be there—
 -6   7  -8 7    -6  7   -7    6   6   6 
Hold-ing hands—-mak-ing all kinds of plans
  6    6   -6  -6   -6   -6   8  7  -8   87-8
While the juke box plays our fa-vo-rite song
8-88  8-88     8  -8  -6   7   8
Me--- and--- Miss-es Miss-es Jones, 
 
  8   8    7     7   7   -6    -6  -6   56 
Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones 
  5    5  6   -7     6  6  -5  5    6    6    6   6     -5
We’ve got a thing-- go-ing on—-we both know that it’s wrong, 
 6   6     7   7   -6 6    6  7   7  -6   6
but it’s much too strong- to let it cool now.
 
-6  7   7 -8  7  -6  -7   6   -5  -5   6     7
We got-ta be ex-tra care-ful that we don’t build 
 7    -6   6    5     -6   -8    7   7   -7  6  6  6   6 
our hopes too high, cause she’s got her own ob-li-ga-tions 
 6   8   6   8  7 87-8 8-88  8-88  8    9  -9  -6   7   8 
and so--and so do I----Me,---me—--and Miss-es Miss-es Jones,
 
  8   8   7     7    7   -6    -6  -6   56
Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones 
  5    5  6   -7     6  6  -5   5   6    6    6   6     -5
We’ve got a thing-- go-ing on—-we both know that it’s wrong,
 6   6     7   7   -6 6    6  7   7  -6  6 
but it’s much too strong- to let it go now.
 
 
 -6   -6   7    7  -8 -8  7  -7   6
Well it’s time for us to be leav-ing
-6   7    7   7   -5   7    7   7  -5  56
It hurts so much, it hurts so much in-side.
 -6    7    -8  8   8   8   -8   7 -76
Now, she’ll go her way and I’ll go mine
 6   6  8   8    8     8   -6   8    8    -6   8  8-87-8
But to-mor-row we’ll meet the same place the same time
8-88 8-88  8   9  -9  -6   7   8
Me---Me--and Miss-es Miss-es Jones

Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones, Miss-es Jones 
  5    5  6   -7     6  6  -5  
We’ve got a thing-- go-ing on—----
