Lyrics
[Intro]
Here's one, baby
[Verse 1]
Mmm, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue with
Some other guy you knew before
'Tween the two of us guys, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
[Chorus]
Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, oh
[Outro]
Honey
Sure done heard it
That's what I did, baby
Woo
