Lyrics to the Marvin Gaye version:

I Heard It Through the Grapevine 

Ooh, ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
About you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy 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...

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 my 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 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.
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 my baby!)

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help being 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.
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 my baby!)

Honey, honey, I know that you're letting me go!

I said, I heard it through the grapevine!

Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine!
