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)
