It's 12 o'clock And I'm picking up a phone call Dan said, ?Is Steve there?? 'Cause no one else can find him He said he'd heard That Steve was in a car crash The word was out That Steve was dead in a car crash Dead in a car crash Steve was dead But it was only for a moment Heard it all That night I heard it all It was infectious But no one really knew Through the grapevine We were victims of a rumor And all along I knew it wasn't true Next day at 8 A.M. I get another phone call This time it's Steve And he's laughing at us all, yeah He thought at first That everyone was joking Until he heard the messages That we were leaving That we were leaving Steve was dead But it was only for a moment Heard it all That night I heard it all It was infectious But no one really knew Through the grapevine We were victims of a rumor And all along I knew it wasn't true Can't believe it How rumors spread Can't believe it How rumors spread Heard it all That night I heard it all It was infectious But no one really knew Through the grapevine We were victims of a rumor And all along I knew it wasn't true Yeah, all along I knew it wasn't true
