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 love you more
It 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
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mine
Honey, honey, well
(Heard it through the grapevine
Now much longer would you be mine, 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
'Cause 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, I heard it through thre grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
(Heard it through the grapevine
Now much longer would you be mine, 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, people tell me go?
For the other guy you loved before

Don't you know that?
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Honey, honey, yeah
That you're lettin' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine...
