I Heard It Thru The Grapevine - Santa Esmeralda/Osibisa

Written by：B. Strong/N. Whitfield

Aah yeah

Huh

Ooh yeah

Oh yeah baby

Oh I bet you're wondering how I knew

About your 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

Ooh I heard it through the grapevine

Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeah

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

Ooh 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 mine babe

I bet you're wondering how I knew

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine babe

I'm just about to lose my mind

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine babe

'Cause you mean that much to me oh

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

People say be very fair from what you see

Sound and low of what you hear

But 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 love before

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Baby I heard it through the grapevine

Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeah

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

I heard it through the grapevine baby

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

I heard it through the grapevine baby

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine baby

Hoh don't you know that I heard

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine grapevine
