Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bet, I bet, I bet
I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
We're two of a kind, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
[Verse 2]
I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer will you be mine (Longer will you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about to lose my mind (Just about to lose my mind)
Honey, honey
[Verse 3]
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
[Verse 4]
Oh, I know a man ain't supposed to cry
Ha, but these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would mean my life, you see?
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could've told me yourself
That you love, love
[Verse 5]
I heard it through the bass line (Bass line)
Not much longer will you be mine (Longer will you be mine)
Oh, ay, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about to lose my mind (Just about to lose my mind)
Honey, honey
[Verse 6]
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
[Verse 7]
People see half of what you see
Run and hide from what you hear
But I can't hide being confused
If it's true, please tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For this other guy you knew before?
[Verse 8]
I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer will you be mine (Longer will you be mine)
Oh, babe, I heard it through the grapevine
(Heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind (Just about to lose my mind)
Honey, honey
[Verse 9]
Vine
[Verse 10]
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby, too
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
Now, ha
[Verse 11]
I heard it through the grapevine (Grapevine, grapevine)
How much longer will you be my baby? (Grapevine, grapevine)
Da-da-da-da-da
I heard it through the grapevine (Grapevine, grapevine)
How much longer will you be my baby? (Grapevine, grapevine)
Da-da-da-da-da
[Verse 12]
I heard it through the grapevine (Grapevine, grapevine)
How much longer will you be my baby? (Grapevine, grapevine)
Da-da-da-da-da
I heard it through the grapevine (Grapevine, grapevine)
How much longer will you be my baby? (Grapevine, grapevine)
Da-da-da-da-da (Grapevine, grapevine)
[Verse 13]
I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
We're two of a kind, you know I love you more
Do you plan to let me go
For this other guy you knew before?
[Verse 14]
Ha, I'm just about to lose my mind, ha
And I'm just about to lose my mind
And I'm just about to lose my mind
And I'm just about to lose my mind
