[Verse 1] I bet, I bet, I bet I bet you're wondering how I knew 'Bout your plans to make me blue With some other guy you knew before We're two of a kind, you know I love you more It took me by surprise I must say When I found out yesterday [Chorus 1] Oh, I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be mine Oh, I heard it through the grapevine I am just about to lose my mind Honey, honey yeah (Heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh) [Verse 2] I know a man ain't supposed to cry But these tears I can't hold inside Losin' you would mean my life, you see Cause you mean that much to me You could have told me yourself That you love, love [Chorus 2] I heard it through the bass line How not much longer will you be mine Oh I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey yeah (Heard it through the grapevine) (Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] People say believe half of what you see Run and hide from what you hear But I can't help bein' confused If it's true please tell me dear Do you plan to let me go For this other guy you knew before? [Chorus 3] I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be mine Oh, babe I heard it through the grapevine Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey [Bridge] I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby Heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby Heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer will you be my baby [Verse 4] I bet you're wondering how I knew 'Bout your plans to make me blue With some other girl you knew before We're two of a kind, you know I love you more Do you plan to let me go For this other guy you knew before?
