Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew 'bout you're 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. Don't you know that... [Chorus:] I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah. Do ya hear me girl I can't believe ya don't want to be in my world This ain't right It caught me in a state of shock But it gets hard when things start to rock [Chorus x2] I 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 love someone else. Instead... [Chorus] People say believe half of what you see, son, and none of what you hear. I can't help bein' confused if it's true please tell me dear? Do you plan to let me go for the other guy you loved before? Don't you know... [Chorus] Yes, I heard it Why didn't ya say it to my face Don't even try to lie I heard it through the grapevine (I heard throughout the grapevine x3)
