Ooh I bet you're wondering how I knew

About you're plans to make me blue

With some other guy that 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 and I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

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

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 heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby x2

People say believe half of what you see

Son and none of what you hear

I can't help bein' 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

Oh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby x2
