Heard It Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

Oo, bet you're wond'ring how I knew

'bout your 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. 

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, 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.

Losin' you would end my life you see,

'cause you mean that much to me.

You could have told me yourself

that you loved someone else.

Instead,

I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,

and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.

People say you "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?

Doncha know I heard it through the grapevine,

not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, I heard it through the grapevine,

and I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.

Honey, honey I know

That you're lettin' me go

Said I heard it through the grapevine

Ooh, heard it through the grapevine
