ELTON JOHN - I Heard It Through The Grapevine lyrics

rate me

Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

About 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 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

Losing you would end my life you see

'Cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you love somebody else

Instead 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

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 that 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
