"I Heard It Through The Grapevine" Lyrics

Oo, bet you're wond'ring how I knew
About 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 yester-day
Oo,

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

You know that 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 found someone else
Instead,

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

People say you "Hear from what you see
Na na not from what you hear"
I can't help bein' confused
If it's true, won't you tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?
Oo

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oo, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
