heard it through the grapevine

oh oh

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

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

when 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

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've 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

i heard it through the grapevine

not much longer would you be mine

baby

oooh ooh ooh

people say believe half of what you see

son and none of what you hear

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

oh ohh
