(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
