Gladys Knight & the Pips I Heard It Through the
Grapevine Lyrics:
Mmmm, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew,
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue (how),
With some other girl you knew before (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo).
Between the two of us girls, ya know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo),
When I found out yesterday (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo).

Don't ya know, that I heard it through the grapevine.
(Wo, I heard it through the grapevine.)
Not much longer would you be mine.
(Not much longer would you be mine.)
Oh, don't ya know, that I heard it through the grapevine.
(Wo, I heard it through the grapevine.)
And I'm just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind.
Oh, yes, I am, (oh, yes, I am, oh, yes, I am, oh, yes, I am).

Baby won't you listen to me.

Boy take a good look at these tears of mine.
Baby, baby these tears I can't hold (ow) inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo),
Because you mean that much to me.
You could've told me yourself (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo),
That you love some body else (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo).

Instead I heard it through the grapevine.
(Oh, I heard it through the grapevine.)
Oh, not much longer would you be mine.
(Not much longer would you be mine.)
Don'tcha know that I heard it (heard it),
Yes, I heard it (heard it through the grapevine).

Oh, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind.
Oh, yes, I am, (oh, yes, I am, oh, yes, I am, oh, yes, I am).

Woh, wo-oh-oh-wo-oh.

(Woh, I gotta know.)
(Woh, woh, if you gonna let me go.)
(woh, woh, woh, I gotta know, wo-wo-wo-wo-wo.)

They say believe half of what you see, (I heard it.)
Oh, ho, and none of what you hear. (Yes, I heard it.)
Baby, but I just can't help bein' confused. (Yes, I heard it.)
If it's true please baby, won't ya tell me dear.
Oh-oh-oh, do you plan to let me go (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo),
For the other girl you loved before (oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)?
Don't ya know, that I heard through the grapevine.
(Oh, I heard it throught the grapevine.)
Not much longer would you be mine.
(Not much longer would you be mine.)
Don't ya know, that I heard it, yes I heard it.
