I bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout 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.

I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.

not much longer would you be mine.
I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.
I heard it through the grapevine,
And I'm just about to lose my mind.

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 love someone else.
