I Heard It Through The Grapevine
I bet you're wonderin' 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 (ooh)
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh, 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?
(Oh, 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?
Oh, take a good look at these tears in my eyes
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
Instead, I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh, 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? (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)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
(Oh, I gotta know)
(Oh, oh, if you don't wanna let me go)
(Whoa-whoa-whoa, I gotta know, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Say believe half of what you see (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Oh, and none of what you hear (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Baby, I just can't help being confused (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
If it's true, please, baby, won't you tell me (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Oh, do you plan to let me go? (ooh)
For the other girl you loved before
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh, 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? (Heard it)
Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, I heard it (heard it), heard it (heard it)
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 (ooh)
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh, 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?
(Oh, 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?
Oh, take a good look at these tears in my eyes
Baby, baby, these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine
(Oh, 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? (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)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
(Oh, I gotta know)
(Oh, oh, if you don't wanna let me go)
(Whoa-whoa-whoa, I gotta know, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
Say believe half of what you see (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Oh, and none of what you hear (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)
Baby, I just can't help being confused (I've heard it, yes, I've heard it)

Oh, do you plan to let me go? (ooh)
For the other girl you loved before
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine?
(Oh, 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? (Heard it)
Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, I heard it (heard it), heard it (heard it)
