I Heard It Through The Grapevine

 Gladys Knight & The Pips

 Written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong

 

 Released 9/28/67, made the top 40 on 11/04/67 where it spent 14 weeks

 Highest charted position was #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
