I bet you're wondering how I knew
Out of dance to make me blue
With some other guys we knew before?
You take me two other guys, you know I love you more
You took me by surprise, I must say, when I found yesterday

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Would you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself that you love someone else
Instead

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Would you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Would you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
Would you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be my baby

Put the blame on me boy
Put the blame on me
