Lyrics - Me and mr Jones

Me and mr Jones really stands out on Back to Black, it's much more old school than the other tracks and is a reference to the song "Me and mrs Jones" by Billy Paul.

What's pretty interesting about this song is that rumour says that Amy dated american rapper Nas for a short while 2003/2004. It is possible that this song is about him as:

1. Nas real name is Nasir Jones.
2. Amy sings about her second favorite black jew. Nas is both.
3. And when she played at Joe's Pub last year, she actually proclaimed her respect for Nas before singing Mr Jones.

Nobody stands in between me and my man, it's me
And Mr Jones
(Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of fuckery is this?
You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh Slick Rick)
You thought I didn't love you when I did (when I did)
Can't believe you played me out like that (Ahhh)

No you ain't worth guest list
Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls)
You can't keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)
Can't believe you played yourself (out) like this

Rulers one thing but come Brixton
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of fuckery are we?
Nowadays you don't mean dick to me (dick to me)
I might let you make it up to me (make it up)
Who's playing Saturday?

What kind of fuckery are you?
Side from Sammy you're my best black Jew
But I could swear that we were through (we were through)
I still want to wonder 'bout the things you do

Mr Destiny 9 and 14
Nobody stands in between me and my man
'Cause it's Me and Mr JOnes (Me and Mr Jones)
