Ooh, i bet you're wond'rin' how i knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know i love you boy
It took me by surprise i must say
When i found out yesterday
Dontcha know that i

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh i heard it through the grapevine
Oh i'm just about to lose my mind

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 love someone else
Dontcha know that i

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Dontcha know that i
Heard it through the grapevine
Oh and i'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
