Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew

Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (how)

With some other girl you knew before

Between the two of us ya know I love you more

It took me by surprise I must say

When I found out yesterday.

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

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am.

Baby won't you listen to me.

Boy take a good look at these tears of mine

Baby, baby these tears I can't hold inside

Losin' you would end my life you see

Because you mean that much to me

You could've told me yourself

That you love some body else.

Instead I heard it through the grapevine

Oh-h, not much longer you be mine

Oh, I heard it, yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind

Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am

Go-o-o-o-o, go

Go, I gotta go

Go, go

You gotta let me go

Go, go, go

I gotta go whoa, whoa, whoa

Say believe half of what you see

Oh, ho, and none of what you hear

Baby, but I just can't help bein' confused

If it's true please baby, won't ya tell me dear

Oh-h-h, do you plan to let me go

For the other girl you loved before?

Don't ya know that I heard through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Don't ya know that I heard it, yes I heard it
