I bet you're wondering how I knew   About your plans to make me blue   With some other guy 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      Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Not much longer would you be mine   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind   Honey, honey, yeah      I heard it through the grapevine   How much longer would you be my baby      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 that you love someone else      Instead I heard it through the grapevine   Not much longer would you be mine   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind   Honey, honey, yeah      I heard it through the grapevine   How much longer would you be my baby   I heard it through the grapevine   How much longer would you be my baby      Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Not much longer would you be mine   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind   Honey, honey, yeah      I heard it through the grapevine   How much longer would you be my baby   I heard it through the grapevine   How much longer would you be my baby      People say believe half of what you see   Son, and none of what you hear   I can't help being confused, if it's true please tell me dear   Do you plan to let me go for the other guy you loved before      Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Not much longer would you be mine   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Not much longer would you be mine      Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine   Oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
