Lyrics

Huh
Hoooo
Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys ya know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine (Woah, I heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine (Woah, I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, and I'm just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am (Oh yes, I am), oh yes, I am (Oh yes, I am)
Baby won't you listen to me
Take a good look at these tears I cry
Oh, these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see (Ooh)
Because you mean that much to me
You should've told me yourself (Ooh)
That you love somebody else (Ooh)
Instead I heard it through the grapevine (Woah, I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh-h, not much longer you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that I heard it (Heard it), yes I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am (Oh yes, I am), oh yes, I am (Oh yes, I am)
Ooh, hey, ooh woah
(Heard it) Yes, I did
(Heard it, heard it) Ooh, baby
(Heard it) Oh, baby
(I love you so) Ooh
(But I'll never let go) Baby, baby
(I love you so)
People say believe in half of what you see (Heard it, yes I heard it)
Son, and none of what you hear (Heard it, yes I heard it)
So I'm asking you myself (Heard it, yes I heard it)
If you want me, won't ya tell me dear (Heard it, yes I heard it)
Woah oh, if you plan to let me go (Ooh)
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't ya know that I heard through the grapevine (Woah, I heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't ya know that I heard through the grapevine (Woah, I heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Well, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, yes I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, heard it through the grapevine (Heard it, yes I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh
