I Heard It Through the Grapevine (single edit) Lyrics

Ooh, bet you're wond'ring 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.
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Ooh, 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.
Losin' 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.
Ooh, 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,
Nah-nah-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?
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey, yeah.

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine,
And I'm just about to lose my mind.

Ooh, 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.
