I Heard It Through the Grapevine

I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls 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've heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don't you know I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine baby)
Baby

I know that a girl is supposed to cry
And these tears I cannot hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved some one else

Instead I've heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine baby)

(I heard it) I heard it
(I heard it) I heard it
(I heard it, I heard it)
People say believe half of what you see
Son and none of what you hear
I can't help being confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don't you know I've heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to love my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

(Through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby)
Baby, baby, baby

Through the grapevine (through the grapevine)
(Through the grapevine) through the grapevine
(Through the grapevine) I've heard it through the grapevine
(I heard it) I've heard it
(Heard it, heard it, ehi)
