Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
But these tears I can't hold inside
Not much longer would you be mine
Not much longer would you be mine
It took me by surprise, I must say
And I'm just about to lose my mind
You know that a man ain't supposed to cry
No, no not from what you hear
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
You could have told me yourself
Not much longer would you be mine
People say you hear from what you see
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
Losin' you would end my life you see
Ah, I heard it through the grapevine
That you found someone else
If it's true won't you tell me dear?
For the other guy that you knew before?
Honey, honey yeah
When I found out yesterday
Do you plan to let me go
Honey, honey yeah
With some other guy that you knew before?
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
'Cause you mean that much to me
I can't help bein' confused
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooo, I heard it through the grapevine
