Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
Baby, baby, baby
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls
Know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, not much longer would you be mine
(Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh 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)
Baby, won't you listen to me?
[Verse 2]
Oh, take a good look at these tears in my eyes
Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved somebody else
Don't you know that
[Verse 3]
I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, not much longer would you be mine
(Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine
(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) Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Go, I gotta go
Go, go, you gotta let me go
Go, go, go, I gotta go, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 5]
They say believe half of what you see
And none of what you hear
Baby, I just can't help being confused
If it's true, please help me, won't you tell me dear?
Don't you plan to let me go
Oh, for the other girl you loved before
Don't you know that
[Verse 6]
I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, not much longer would you be mine
(Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine
(Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about, just about, just about to lose my mind
Oh yes I am
[Verse 7]
(Oh I heard it through the grapevine)
Oh yes I heard it, oh
(Not much longer would you be mine)
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Just about, just about, just about to lose my mind)
Oh yes I am (Oh yes I am)
Oh yes I am, oh
Baby, oh yes I am (Oh yes I am)
[Verse 8]
Alright
Oh yeah
