The grapevine

Ooh, 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 mind

Honey, honey, yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)

I know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears, I can't hold inside

Losin' you would end my life, you see

'Cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you loved someone else, instead

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, well

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not 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 but be confused

If it's true, please, tell me, dear

Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know 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, yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be mine, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey, honey, I know (heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)

That you're letting me go (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Said, I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)

Ooh, heard it through the grapevine (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
