(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong)
|
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
|
'bout you're plans 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.
|
Don't you know that...
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I heard it through the grapevine
|
not much longer would you be mine.
|
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
|
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
|
Honey, honey yeah.
|
|
I know that 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 love someone else.
|
Instead...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
People say believe half of what you see,
|
son, and none of what you hear.
|
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...
|
|
[Chorus]
