Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' 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 
Dontcha 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 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 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 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 
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? 
Dontcha 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 my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 

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

FADE 
Heard it through the grapevine
