I Heard It Through The Grapevine

I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Bettye Lavette

Lyrics by：Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield

Composed by：Barrett Strong/Norman Whitfield

I bet you're wonderin' how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between the two of us guys

You know I loved 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 I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

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 baby you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you loved some one else

Instead 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 yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby

People say believe half of what you see

Son and none of what you hear

But I can't help but be 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 baby yeah

I heard it through the grapevine

I'm just about to love my mind

Honey honey yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine baby yeah
