I bet you're wondering how I knew

About you're plans to make me blue

With some other guy 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



Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh 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

How much longer would you be my baby



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

Because you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you love someone else



Instead I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh 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

How much longer would you be my baby

I heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be my baby



Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh 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

How much longer would you be my baby

I heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be my baby



People say believe half of what you see

Son, and none of what you hear

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



Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
