The Average White Band › Lyrics › I Heard It Through the Grapevine

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
Some other guy that 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
Don't you 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
Honey, honey, yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears 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
Instead

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

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
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 you loved before?
Instead

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
