Lyrics I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Live in Denver, 1978) - Joe Cocker

I bet you're wondering how I knew
About these 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

You could've told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine (grape, grape, grapevine baby)
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine (grape, grape, grapevine baby)
Said I'm just about to lose, lose my mind

Take a good look at these tear in these eyes
These tears I ain't supposed to cry
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me

You could've told me yourself
That you love someone else
I just heard through the grapevine
(Grape, grape, heard it through the grapevine baby)
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine
(Grape, through the grapevine baby)
Just about to lose my mind

They say believe in half of what you see
Well, I believe it now won't you hear me?
I can't help but be confused
So if it's true please tell me dear
Would you dare to let me go
For that other guy you knew before?

But I heard it through the grapevine (grapevine baby)
Not much longer would you be mine
I heard it through the grapevine (through the grapevine baby)
Just about to lose, lose my mind
Yeah

Heard it through the grapevine
I heard it through the grapevine baby
Yes. I heard through the grapevine
I heard it (ow), through the grapevine baby

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Cocker
Hope you enjoyed the show
We'll see you again next time, thank you
