Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

'bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between the two of us guys you know I love you more

It took me by surprise I must say

When I found out yesterday

Dontcha know that I

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears I can't hold inside

Losing you would end my life you see

'cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you love someone else

Instead I

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

People say believe half of what you see

Son, and none of what you hear

But I can't help being confused

If it's true please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before?

Dontcha know I

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Baby I heard it through the grapevine

Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey, honey, I know

That you're letting me go

Said I heard it through the grapevine

Heard it through the grapevine
