I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us
You know that I loved ya more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out about it yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
I heard it, not longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But I can't hold these tears inside
Losing you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
You were lovin' someone else
It took me by surprise I must say (oh, it took me by surprise)
When I found out about it yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
I heard it, not longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Say believe the half you see
Some or none of what you hear (of what you hear)
But I just can't help bein' confused
If it's true just tell me to
You're plannin' to let me go
For the guy you loved before (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I, oh I-I heard it through the grapevine
