I bet you wonderin' how I knew 'bout your plans to make me blue With some other guy you knew before Out of the two of us guys you know I love you more It took me by surprise I must say When I found you yesterday Dear God I heard it through the grapevine, Not much longer would you be mine No, no I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey honey, yeah Now 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 Because you mean that much to me You could have told me yourself That you loved someone else Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine No, no I heard it though the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey honey yeah. Honey, Honey I know that you're letting me go You can't hide what I've seen And you can't hide what I've heard But I can't stand being confused So if it's true you'd better tell me dear Do you plan to let me go For the other guy you loved before? Dear God I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine No, no I heard it though the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, Honey Yeah I heard it through the grapevine
