Oo, Bet you're wond'ring how I knew 'bout your plans to make me
blue
With some other guy 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.
Oo,

CHORUS:
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be
mine.
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to lose

Honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I
can't hold inside.

to me.
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.

CHORUS

People say, "Believe half of you see, son, and none of what
you hear."
I can't help bein' confused; if it's true, won't you tell me
dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before?
Oo,

CHORUS
