I heard it through the grapevine

Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' 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

Don'tcha 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, ooh]

I know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears, I can't hold inside

Losin' you would end my life you see

'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

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 bein' confused

If it's true, please, tell me, dear

Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before?

Don'tcha 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, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh]

Honey, honey, I know

That you're lettin' me go

Said I heard it through the grapevine

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
