Songtexte I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Roger

Grapevine
(Grapevine)

Ooh, grapevine
Ooh, grapevine
(Grapevine)
Ooh, grapevine
(Heard it through the grapevine)
Ooh, sho' 'nuff I need you

I heard that you're gonna leave me (Oh, I)
Oh, yeah, I heard that you're gonna leave me, baby (Oh, I)
I heard that you're gonna leave me
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Somebody told me 'bout your plans to leave me
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine (Oh, wow)

Bet you wondered how I knew 'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between of us guys you know I love you much more

It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday, oh, yeah

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine

Ooh, grapevine
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Never leave me, girl, because I need your love so bad

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
Because you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Heard it through the grapevine
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Leave me, grapevine
I don't want nobody else, baby
I don't want nobody else
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me, don't you leave me
Don't you leave me, no, don't leave me, don't do it
Oh, oh (I)
Oh, oh (oh, I)
Oh, oh

How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
How much longer, sooner would you be mine? (Please, don't tell your mama)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (She'll start cryin')
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Never try me, try me, baby)
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine? (I need you, I need you so bad)
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
Need your lovin', need your lovin'
Need your love, your love, your love
I really want you, waitin' for your love
Your love, your love, your love
Oh, yeah, ooh

(Heard it through the grapevine)
Said, I heard it, said I heard it, baby
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me now
(Heard it through the grapevine) Said, I
Heard it through, heard it through, heard it through, tell me

(Mmm, hmm) Just a little bit of soul now
(Mmm, hmm)

Your love, you know I need it
Your love
Your love, you know I want it
Your love
Your love, I've got to have it
Your love
Your love, you know I need it
Your love

I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine
I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine, yeah

How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (Baby)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (Baby)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (Darling, baby)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (Baby, mama)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (I love you)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (I love you, I love you)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine? (Yes, I love you)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
