Bet you're wondering how I knew
About 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
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
You know that 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 found someone else, instead
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
People say, "Believe half of what you see, son
And none of what you hear"
I can't help being confused, if it's true
Won't you tell me, dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
