Oo, bet you're wond'ring how I knew

'bout 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. oo

Chorus

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

You 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 found someone else

Instead

Chorus

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

People say you hear from what you see

Na, na, not from what you hear

I can't help bein' confused

If it's true

won't you tell me dear?

Do you plan to let me go for the other guy

That you knew before? oo

Chorus

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

Chorus

I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah
