I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Part 1) Lyrics by Roger Troutman

The Many Facets of Roger

0

Ooh... grapevine
Ooh... grapevine (grapevine)
Ooh... grapevine, heard it through the grapevine
Ooh... sho-nuff, I need you
I heard that you're gonna leave me, baby (oh, I)
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
Somebody told me 'bout your plans to leave me
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
Bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between both us guys, you know I love you much more
Took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday, oh yeah
I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)
I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)
Ooh... grapevine
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't you ever leave me, girl
Because I need your love so bad
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 (mm, mm, mm)
Because you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)
I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't you leave meee... grapevine
I don't want nobody else, baby
I don't want nobody else
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me
Oh, don't leave me, don't you
Ow, ow (I), ow, ow (oh, I), ow, ow...
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
(It's tearin' my mind)
Not much longer, longer would you be mine
(You've got me cryin')
Not much longer, longer would you be mine...
