I bet you're wondering how I knew
Ah, what you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us, you know I love you more

It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about to lose my mind

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,
Oh, that you love someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, and I am, and I am just about lose my mind

People say believe half of what you see
Oh, and none of what you hear
Whoa, I jus' can't help being confused
If it's true please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you left me for
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the
grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard
it)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I
heard it)
Oh, heard it through the grapevine(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard
it)
I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard
it)
Woo, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I
heard it)
I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard
it)
Oh, heard it throught the grapevine(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard
