I Heard It Through The Grapevine [1968]

Oo, bet you're wond'ring how I knew

'bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy that 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. oo,

I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,

and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.

You know that 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 found someone else.

Instead,

I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,

and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.

People say you hear from what you see,

na na not from what you hear.

I can't help bein' confused;

if it's true, won't you tell me dear?

Do you plan to let me go

for the other guy that you knew before? oo,

I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,

and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.
