Ooh, bet you wonderin' how I knew 'bout your plan to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys, you know, I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say when I found out yesterday

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry but these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you end my life you see cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself that you found someone else

Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

People say you 'hear from what you see na, na not from what you hear'
I can't help but bein' confused
If it's true, won't you tell me, dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before?

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah
