Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bet you're wondering how I knew
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (How)
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
[Verse 2]
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine? (Whoa, I heard it through the grapevine)
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? (Whoa, 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 3]
Boy, take a good look at these tears of mine
Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love somebody else
[Chorus]
Instead, I heard it through the grapevine (Whoa, 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? (Heard it)
Yes, I heard it (Heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, 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)
[Bridge]
Go, go, go (Go)
I gotta know
Whoa, whoa, if you gonna let me go
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I gotta know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[Verse 4]
Say believe half of what you see (I heard it, yes, I heard it)
Oh, oh, and none of what you hear (I heard it, yes, I heard it)
Baby, babe, I just can't help being confused (Yes, I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
If it's true please, baby, won't you tell me, dear? (Yes, I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Oh, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
[Outro]
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine? (Whoa, I heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (Not much longer would you be mine)
Don't you know that I heard it? Yes, I heard it (Heard it, heard it through the grapevine)
