Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grapevine
Grapevine (Grapevine)
Grapevine (Heard it trough the grapevine)
I heard that your gonna leave me, baby
[Verse 2]
Heard it through the grapevine
Somebody told me 'bout your to leave me
H-h-h-h-heard it through the grapevine
[Verse 3]
Bet you're wonderin' how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you much more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah, I heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Longer would you be mine)
Heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Longer would you be mine)
[Verse 5]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 6]
Don't leave me, girl
Don't leave me 'cause I need your love so bad
Oh, I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me, yeah
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
[Verse 7]
Heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Longer would you be mine)
Heard it through the grapevine (Heard it through the grapevine)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 8]
Grapevine
[Verse 9]
I don't want nobody else, baby
I don't want nobody else, but you
[Verse 10]
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
