Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy 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
[Chorus]
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
[Bridge]
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby
[Verse 2]
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing 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
[Chorus]
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
[Bridge]
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby
[Verse 3]
People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true, please tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
[Chorus]
Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
[Bridge]
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Honey, honey, I know (Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby) That you're letting me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby) Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
