Lyrics I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Ella Fitzgerald

I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plan to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us, I love you more

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

Dontcha know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Dontcha know I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, yes I am
Honey, yes I am

People say, "Believe half of whatcha see
And none, none of what you hear"
I can't help but be confused
If it's true, please, baby tell me there

Do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you knew before?

Oh, I hear it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, yes I am
Honey, yes I am

Go on, take a good look
At these tears
Baby, baby, the tears I can't hide inside
Losin' you would end my life, you see
Because you mean so much to me

You could've 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
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, yes I am
Honey, yes I am
Honey, yes I am

Oh, please tell me, tell me daddy, tell me true
I just wanna hear it, hear it from you
Don't wanna hear it, don't wanna hear it from the grapevine
I'm 'bout to blow my mind
Oh I'm 'bout to blow my mind
Honey, yes I am

'Bout to blow my mind
Oh, I wanna hear it from you
Tell me daddy
I don't wanna hear it from that grapevine
From you

I'm 'bout to blow, blow, blow, blow, blow my mind
I'm 'bout to blow, blow, blow, blow, blow my mind
I'm 'bout to blow, blow, blow, blow, blow my mind
'Cause I heard it through the grapevine
Yeah
