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, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
Would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby

I know a man is not supposed to cry
But the 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 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, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby
Would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
Would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
Would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby

Put the blame on me, boy
Put the blame on me
