I bet you're wondering how I knew

'Bout your plan to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between the two of us guys

You know I love you more.



You took me by surprise, I must say

When I found out yesterday

Don't you know 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 know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears I can't hold inside

Losing you would end my life you see

'Cause you mean that much to me.



You could have told me yourself

That you loved somebody else

Instead I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine.



People say believe half of what you see, son

And none of what you hear

But I can't hide being confused

If it's true, please tell me dear.



Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy that you loved before

Don't you know 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

Yeah, 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.



Honey, I know you're gonna let me go...
