I Heard It Through the Grapevine
(Ich hab's vom Hörensagen)

Ooh-ooh, bet you wondered how I knew
'Bout your plan to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday

Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you'd end my life, you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could've told me yourself
That you found someone else

Instead, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

People say, "You hide from what you see
Not, not, not from what you hear"
I can't help but being confused
If it's true, won't you tell me, dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before?

Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah

Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Ooh-ooh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Ooh-ooh, 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, honey, yeah
