I bet you're wondering how I knew

'Bout you're 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

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 yeah

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

I 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 love someone 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

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

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 I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Baby I heard it through the grapevine

Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey honey yeah

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

Honey honey I know

That you're letting me go

I said I heard through the grapevine

Ooh heard it through the grapevine
