I heard it through the grapevine

I bet you're wondering how I knew.
Ah, what you're plans to make me blue.
With some other guy you knew before.
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday.

Oh, 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

I heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be my baby [2x]

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 someone else

Oh, 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

I heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be my baby [2x]

Oh, 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

I heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be my baby [2x]

People say believe half of what you see.
Oh, 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 that other guy you knew before

Oh, 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. [3x]

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine...
