#2,
Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' 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 girls 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
