“I Heard It Through The Grapevine” Lyrics

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,

[CHORUS:]
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,

[CHORUS]

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,

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS]
