I Heard It Through the Grapevine

I bet you're wondering how I knew 
'Bout your plan to make me blue 
With some other guy you knew before 
Between the two of us guys 
You know I love you more. 

You 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 
And I'm just about to lose my mind 
Honey, honey, yeah. 

I know 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 loved somebody else 
Instead I heard it through the grapevine 
Not much longer would you be mine. 

People say believe half of what you see, son 
And none of what you hear 
But I can't hide being confused 
If it's true, please tell me dear. 

Do you plan to let me go 
For the other guy that you loved 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 
And I'm just about to lose my mind 
Yeah, 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, yeah. 

Honey, I know you're gonna let me go...
