Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other girl that 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

CHORUS :

Oh yeah, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh no, 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 loneger would you be my baby)

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
'Cause losing you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love somebody else

Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh no, 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)

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?

CHORUS

Please
Honey, honey, I know
That you're letting me go
I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine

(REPEAT)
