I Heard It Through the Grapevine Songtext

von King Curtis

Mm I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue,
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you more.
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer you would be mine.
Uh huh heard it through the grapevine.
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey oh yeah.
(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah)

I know 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 loved some one 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 oh yeah.
(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah)

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

Honey, honey oh yeah.
(I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah)
Honey, honey, I know that you're letting me go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah)
