Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1983) Lyrics

Ouh 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 love 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 grapewine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapewine
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapewine not
much longer would you be my baby ouh)

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 loved someone else
Instead

I heard it through the grapewine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapewine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapewine not much longer would you be my baby)

People say "Believe half of what you see
Son and none of what you hear"
But 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 left before?
Don't you know

I heard it through the grapewine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapewine
Ouh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapewine not much
longer would you be my baby yeah yeah yeah)

Honey honey I know
(Heard it through the grapewine not much longer would you be my baby)
That you're letting me go
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Said I heard it through the grapewine (Heard it
through the grapewine not much longer would you be my baby)
Oh heard it through the grapewine (yeah yeah yeah)
