I Heard It Through the Grapevine

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
(Oooh)
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
(Oooh)
It took me by surprise, I must say
(Took me by surprise, I must say)
When I found out yesterday
(When I found out yesterday)
Don't you know that

[Chorus]
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
(Oooh)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, and I'm just about to lose my mind
(Oooh)
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)

[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
Because you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
(You could have told me yourself)
That you love somebody else
(That you love someone else)
Instead...

[Chorus]
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
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)

[Verse 3]
People say "Believe half of what you see..."
"Son, and none of what you hear..."
(Oooh)
But I can't help being confused
If it's true please tell me dear –
(Oooh)
Do you plan to let me go
(Do you plan to let me go)
For the other guy you loved before?
(For the other guy you loved before?)
Don't you know that –

[Chorus]
I heard it through the grapevine
That not much longer would you be mine – ohh!
I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah!

[Outro]
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
How much longer will you be...

(Heard it through the grapevine)
Ooh, yeah
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
How much longer will you be...

(Heard it through the grapevine)
Ooh, yeah
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
How much longer will you be...

(Heard it through the grapevine)
Ooh, yeah
(Not much longer would you be –)
(My baby, ooh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
