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. Oo
CHORUS:
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
You know that 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 found someone else
Instead
CHORUS
People say you "Hear from what you see, na na not from what you hear."
I can't help bein' 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? Oo
CHORUS (2x)
