Ooh-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-ooh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-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-ooh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeah

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of 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-ooh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeah

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

Ooh-ooh I heard it through the grapevine
