I bet you're wond'rin' 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

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
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah.

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
That you love someone else.

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 yeah.

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But 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 i heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby i heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah.
