I heard it through the grapevine

I bet you're wonderin' 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 loved you more

It took me by surprise I must say

When I found out yesterday

Don't you 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

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

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 some one 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

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine, baby

People say believe half of what you see

Son and none of what you hear

But I can't help but be confused

If it's true please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah

I heard it through the grapevine

I'm just about to love my mind

Honey, honey, yeah

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
