[Verse 1] Ooh-ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew 'Bout your plans to make me blue With some other guy 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 [Chorus] I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Oh, 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 my baby) [Verse 2] I know a man ain't supposed to cry But these tears, I can't hold inside Losing 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 [Chorus] I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Oh, I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, yeah (Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby) [Verse 3] People say believe half of what you see Son, and none of what you hear But I 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 loved before? Don't you know [Chorus] I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine, baby I heard it through the grapevine Ooh, I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, yeah (Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby) [Outro] (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Honey, honey, I know (Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby) That you're letting me go (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Said I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby) Ooh, heard it through the grapevine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
