Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue

Some other guy that 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

Don't you know that



I heard it through the grapevine?

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?



I know that a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears 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

That you love someone 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, honey, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?



People say believe half of what you see

Son, and none of what you hear

I can't help bein' confused

If it's true, please tell me, dear



Do you plan to let me go

For the other guy you loved before?

Instead



I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Baby, I heard it through the grapevine

And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Heard it through the grapevine

How much longer would you be mine, baby?
