I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Letra:
[English]
I bet you're wondering how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved 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, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
I know 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 loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
People say believe half of what you see
Some and none of what you hear
But I can't help to be 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
Baby, i heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
Honey, honey i know
I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine, baby
That you letting me go
I say i heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
