Honey, honey Oh yeah.
( I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah)
People say believe half of what you see
Oh, 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?
Honey, honey Oh yeah.
( I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah)
honey, honey, I know that you're letting me go.
yeah, yeah, yeah I heard it through the grapevine,
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'bout you're plans to make me blue
with some other guy that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
when I found out yesterday.
Don't you know that...
Chorus:
I heard it through the grapevine
not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
but these 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 love someone else.
Instead...
Chorus
People say believe half of what you see,
son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' 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...
chorus
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
Some other guy that knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
