I heard it through the grapevine

Uhh, I bet you wonder
how I knew
'bout your plans
to make me blue
With some other guys
we knew before
Between two of us guys
you know I love you more

It took me by surprise
I must say
When I found you yesterday
Don't you know that
I heard it
through the grapevine,
not much longer
would you be mine
I heard it
through the grapevine
and I'm just about
to lose my mind
Honey honey, girl

Backing vocals: through the grapevine,
not much longer
would you be my baby

Would you be my baby

I know a man
is not supposed to cry
But the 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 by yourself
That you loved
someone else

Instead
I heard it
through the grapevine
Not much longer
would you be mine
I heard it
thought the grapevine
And I'm just about
to lose my mind
Honey, honey girl

Backing vocals: through the grapevine,
not much longer
would you be my baby

Would you be my baby
Uhhh

Oh, blame on me, boy.
