I heard it through the grapevine

Oh bet you're wonderin' how I knew
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other girl that you knew before
Between the two of us girls you know I love 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
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby)
(Heard it)

Boy, now take a good look at these tears in my eyes
Baby, baby, these tears I can't ho-ho-hold inside
Losin' you would change my life you see
'Cause you mean so much to me

You could have told me yourself
That you love, that you love someone else
Instead

I heard it through the grapevine
That not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I am just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby)
(Heard it)

(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(I heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)

Now people say you ain't half of what you see
Now from what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true, baby, 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
That not much longer would you be mine
Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine
That not much longer would you be mine

Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby) (no, no, no)
(Heard it) (just don't go)

Heard it, heard it
I heard it
Yes, I heard it
Said I heard it
Heard it, heard it
Oh Lord
Don't you know that I heard it, heard it

Heard it, heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
I heard it
Yes, I heard it
Said I heard it
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(I heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(I heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
(I heard it through the grapevine)
(Heard it)
