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.

[Chorus:]
heard it through the grapevine not much longer would
you be mine. 
Ooh I heard it through the grapevine, and I'm just about to
lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry,

People say believe half of what you see,

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 that you knew before?
Ooh I

[Chorus]
