Ooh, I bet you're wond-'ring how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some oth-er guy that you knew be-fore.
Be-tween the two of us guys
You know I love you more.
It took me by sur-prise I must say,
When I found out yes-ter-day.
Oh. Oh
Chorus:
I heard it through the grape-vine
Not much long-er would you be mine.
Oh, oh I heard it through the grape-vine,
And I'm just a-bout to lose my mind.
Hon-ey, hon-ey yeah.
You know that a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold in-side.
Los-in' you would end my life you see,
Cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me your-self
That you found some-one else.
In-stead...
I heard it through the grape-vine
Not much long-er would you be mine.
Oh, oh I heard it through the grape-vine,
And I'm just a-bout to lose my mind.
Hon-ey, hon-ey yeah.

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?
Don't you know...

(Chorus)
