I Heard It Through the Grapevine Lyrics by The Flying Pickets

Only You: The Best of the Flying Pickets

1984

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love 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 would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh baby 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
Losin' you would end my life you see
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you found somebody else
Instead...
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy 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 baby I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
Honey honey I know
That you're letting me go
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
