I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Single Version)

Whew!

(Come on, man, let's work out something)

I have got the tool

Hello (hello, Marvin)

Yeah, who is this? Frankie, what's happening?

Yeah, man, look here

Something funky is going down, man

What do you mean something funky is going down?

I'm over here working (oh, man, something funky is going down, look here)

I just saw your lady go in the motel room, man, with one of your best friends

And it just didn't look right, mama

Speak up, man, what you gonna say about it, man?

Try to let you know what's happening

Say what, Frankie?

Don't tell me that

What'd you say?

It's true, hommie, it's true, funky

Oh, Frankie, don't tell me my lady is like that, man (oh, man)

Listen, huh?

She-she-she just don't love you no more, man

I guess she don't love you no more

Look here, I got to go now, man

I got to go, I'll talk to you later, all right?

Frankie, don't hang up

Don't hang up, Frankie

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy 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

Dontcha 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

(I heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Now I know a man ain't supposed to cry

But these tears I can't hold inside

Losing you would end my life you see

'Cause you mean that much to me

Now you should have told me yourself (should 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

Now I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

(I heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(I heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(I heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah)

When I heard the news, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

I didn't know what to do, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

It started to feel real (I heard it through the grapevine)

Broken up in my heart, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

I didn't know how to handle the feeling, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

I don't wanna believe it, baby (I heard it through the grapevine), no, I don't

I broke down and began to feel awful, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

I broke down on me and the world (I heard it through the grapevine)

Why, baby? (I heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, why? (I heard it through the grapevine)

Don't you love me no more? (I heard it through the grapevine)

Don't you love me no more? (I heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

Oh, baby (I heard it through the grapevine)

Ooh, what can you do? (I heard it through the grapevine)

Hey! Ah! Oh, no, listen

I know I'm in it all the time

But these tears I can't hold inside

Ooh, you're in my life, you see

Don't you mean that much to me, baby?

You should've told yourself (you should've told yourself)

That you loved somebody else (that you loved somebody else)

But instead I

Heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

I heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah

(I heard it through the grapevine)

(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Nearly broke with you babe

(I heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine

(I heard it through the grapevine)

Heard it through the grapevine, whew!
