Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us, you know I loved you more
[Chorus]
Oh, it took me by surprise, I must say
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
When I found out yesterday
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
[Verse 2]
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
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
Ooh-ooh-uh, ooh-ooh
Oh, that you loved some one else
[Chorus]
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Oh, and I'm just about to lose my mind
Just about to lose my mind
[Verse 3]
People say believe half of what you see
Oh, and none of what you hear, whoa
I can't help being 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 that I heard it through the grapevine?
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes, I heard it, I heard it
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, you heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, you heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, heard it through the grapevine
Oh, you heard it through the
