I bet you're wonderin' 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 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
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 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
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby

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 i heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to love my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
