"I Heard It Through The Grapevine" lyrics

I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plan to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more.

You took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know 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, yeah.

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me.

You could have told me yourself
That you loved somebody else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine.

People say believe half of what you see, son
And none of what you hear
But I can't hide being confused
If it's true, please tell me dear.

Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you loved before
Don't you know 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
Yeah, 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, yeah.

Honey, I know you're gonna let me go...
