Marvin Gaye – I Heard It Through The Grapevine lyrics

Oooh, oooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before.
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise, I must say
(It took me by surprise, I must say)
When I found out yesterday. (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,
Not much longer would you be my baby.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

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 (You could have told me yourself)
That you love someone else. (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,
Not much longer would you be my baby.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

People say believe half of what you see,
Some and none of what you hear.
But I can't help being confused.
If it's true, please tell me, dear.
Do you plan to let me go (Do you plan to let me go)
For the other guy you loved before. (For the other guy you loved before)

Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine.
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine.
Oooh, I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey, yeah.
Heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be my baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Honey, honey, I know that you let me go.
(Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be my baby.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Said I heard it through the grapevine. Oooh, oooh.
Heard it through the grapevine. Oooh, oooh, oooh.
