Lyrics I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Michael McDonald

Oh-ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
What your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us, you know I love you more

It took me by surprise, I must say, when I found out yesterday
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, oh, oh)
And I'm just about to lose my mind, on and on, yeah

Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, oh, oh

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
'Cause you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself (you could have told me yourself)
Oh, that you love someone else (that you love someone else)
Instead I heard it through the grapevine (oh, oh, oh)
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, oh, oh)
And I am just about lose my mind, oh, no, no, yeah

Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, ooh, ooh

People say believe half of what you see
Soon and none of what you hear
Well, I can't help being confused
If it's true, please tell me dear

Do you plan to let me go (do you plan to let me go)
For the other guy you left me for? (The other guy you left me for)
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine (oh, oh, oh)
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine (oh, oh, oh)
And I'm just about to lose my mind, on and on, yeah

Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, yeah, yeah yeah
Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, be my grapevine
Not much longer, would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
