I bet, I bet, I bet
I bet you're wondering how I knew 
'Bout your plans to make me blue 
With some other guy you knew before 
We're two of a kind, you know I love you more 
It took me by surprise I must say 
When I found out yesterday 

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine 
Not much longer will you be mine 
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine 
I am just about to lose my mind 
Honey, honey yeah 
(Heard it through the grapevine) 
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh) 

I know a man ain't supposed to cry 
But these tears I can't hold inside 
Losin' you would mean my life, you see 
'Cause you mean that much to me 
You could have told me yourself 
That you love, love 

I heard it through the bass line 
How not much longer will you be mine 
Oh I heard it through the grapevine 
And I'm just about to lose my mind 
Honey, honey yeah 
(Heard it through the grapevine) 
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) 

People say believe half of what you see [bad word] and hide from what you hear 
But I can't help bein' confused 
If it's [bad word] please tell me dear 
Do you plan to let me go 
For this other guy you knew before? 

I heard it through the grapevine 
Not much longer will you be mine 
Oh, babe I heard it through the grapevine 
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind 
Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby 
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby

I bet you're wondering how I knew 
'Bout your plans to make me blue 
With some other girl you knew before 
We're two of a kind, you know I love you more 
Do you plan to let me go 
For this other guy you knew before? 
Just about to lose my mind
I'm just about to lose my mind, honey
I'm just about to lose my mind
And I'm just about to lose my mind
