Performer Marvin Gaye
Title I heard it through the grapevine
Lyrictext

I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys I loved 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
Oh, and I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well

(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Ooohooo, ooohooo)

You know 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've told me yourself
That you loved somebody 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, well

(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Ooohooo, ooohooo)

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 that I heard it through the grapevine?
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Oooh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well

(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey, honey, I know
That you let me go

Said I heard it through the grapevine
Ooohooo, yeah
