Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
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
Don't you know that

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

I know a girl, ain't supposed to cry
But these tears, I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead

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

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
And I can't help bein' confused
If it's true, please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
You know

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

I can't hide it, I can't fight it
'Cause you mean that much to me

You know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
