I bet you're wondering how I knew
cbout your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before,
Between the two of us girls
You know I love you more

It took me by surprise, I must say,
When I found out yesterday,
Don't you know

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
cnd l'm just about to lose my mind,

Honey honey, yeah
Honey honey, yeah
Honey honey, yeah

I know that a girl ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cause you mean so much to me
You could have told me yourself
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
cnd I'm just about to lose my mind,

Honey, honey, yeah
Honey, honey, yeah
Honey, honey, yeah
Honey, honey, yeah

cw...

People say: 'believe half of what you see,
Son, 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
For this other girl you knew before,
Don't you know...

I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
cnd I'm just about to lose my mind,

Honey, honey, yeah

I bet you're wondering
I bet you're wondering
I bet you're wondering
I bet you're wondering, bet you're wondering, bet you're wondering!
Yeah, I bet you're wondering how I knew...


Yeah, you know you got me feeling blue

Oh, yeah
Not much longer would you be mine

Losing you would end my life, you see
(Not much longer would you me mine)

Losing you would end my life you see
(Not much longer would you be mine)

Losing you would end my life you see
(Not much longer would you be mine)

I bet you're wondering how I knew
cbout your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls
You know I love you more
