I Heard It Through the Grapevine

by Marvin Gaye

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved 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 man 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
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well


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

Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before
Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine

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

Honey, honey I know
That you're letting me go
Said I heard it through the grapvine
Ooh, I heard it theought the grapevine
