I Heard It Through The Grapevine Lyrics

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

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 loved you more.
It took me by surprise
I must say

when I found out yesterday.

Don't you know that 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
oh yeah -
I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine
baby.

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 loved someone else -

Instead I heard it through the grapevine
. . .

People say believe half of what you see

son
and none of what you hear

But I can't help but be 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 that I heard it through the grapevine
. . .

Honey
honey
I know - I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine
baby -
that you're letting me go.
Said I heard it through the grapevine -
Not much longer would you be mine
baby -
through the grapevine.
