Mm-mm, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Mm-mm, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Mm, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I know a girl ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, it seems
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Hey, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
People say, believe half of what you see
Oh, and none of what you hear
I just can't help being confused
If it's true, please, tell me, dear:
Do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Hey, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
