I heard

it through grapevyne

Boy, you know that I

I heard it through

the grapevine

That you ain't feelin'

too fine

And I hope that you

feel much better

Yes, I do

I really do, I really do

Happened on

the day I left

You haven't been

the best, babe

Oh...

You looked into my eyes

You said to me that night

That you would never

cheat on me

Or break my heart

Inside I never knew

Your love was so untrue

I thought that

I was your only

Boy, was I wrong

so wrong

Never do somethin'

that'll catch up to ya

You did me wrong

and told me lies

Never do somethin'

that you'll live to regret

You hurt me

so bad, babe

Deep in my heart

I feel sorry for ya

You had to lose

a damn good thing

Lovin' me could

have been good

Losing my love

was a shame, baby

Oh, no

No no no, baby

I really

really do, baby

It happened

on the day I left

You haven't been

the best, baby

No no no no

We choose

to play love games

We lose

we face the pain

Those lonely nights

and that heartache

That empty space

I'll share with you

my dreams

Those precious

tender things

Everybody plays a fool

I guess I played

my part for you

Never do somethin'

that'll catch up to ya

You did me wrong

and told me lies

Never do somethin'

that you'll live to regret

You hurt me

so bad, babe

Deep in my heart

I feel sorry for ya

You had to lose

a damn good thing

Lovin' me could

have been good

Losing my love

was a shame....

Oh, no oh

I really really do, baby

It happened on

the day I left

You haven't been

the best baby

Oh, boy

you had my faith

you had my trust

you had my love

But now I have

to take it back

it didn't work for us

And all I really needed

was your lovin'

Yes, all I really needed

was your lovin'

I was your lady

and there's nothin'

that I would not do

Now here's a Dear

John letter that I've

written just for you

And all I really needed

was your lovin'

Yes, all I really needed

was your lovin', baby...

Never do somethin'

that'll catch up to ya

You did me wrong

and told me lies

Never do somethin'

that you'll live to regret

You hurt me

so bad, now baby

Deep in my heart

I feel sorry for you

You had to lose

a damn good thing

Lovin' me could

have been good

Losing my good love

was such a shame

Oh, no

Hey...

I really

really do, baby

You haven't been

the best , baby

I love it, oh, no

No no no no no no no

I heard it

Grapevyne

I heard it

baby
