Ooh, 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. 
Don't you know that...

 [bad word] 
I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine, 
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. 
Honey, honey yeah. 

I know that 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 love someone else. 
Instead...

 [bad word] 

People say believe half of what you see, 
son, and none of 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 the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know...

 [bad word]
