I bet you're wondering how I knew
Ah, what you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy 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
Oh, 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

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
Oh, 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

People say believe half of what you see
Oh, and none of what you hear
I can't help being confused
If it's true, please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For that other guy you knew before
Oh, 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

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
