People say believe half of what you see
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
And I'm just about to lose my mind
I know that a man ain't supposed to cry
Losin' you would end my life you see
Honey, honey, yeah
For the other guy you loved before?
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Instead
Not much longer would you be mine
Heard it through the grapevine
When I found out yesterday
I heard it through the grapevine
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Instead
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
'Cause you mean that much to me
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
That you love someone else
Don't you know that
Heard it through the grapevine
You could have told me yourself
Son, and none of what you hear
But these tears can't hold inside
Heard it through the grapevine
I can't help bein' confused
Honey, honey, yeah
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
How much longer would you be mine, baby?
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
Heard it through the grapevine
Some other guy that knew before
I heard it through the grapevine?
Honey, honey, yeah
It took me by surprise I must say
Do you plan to let me go
Heard it through the grapevine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If it's true, please tell me, dear
