I heard it throug the Grapevine

Joe Cocker


Bet you're wondering how I knew 
About your 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.
It took me by surprise 
I must say, when I found out yesterday. 
Oo I heard it through the grapevine 
Not much longer would you be mine. 
Oo 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 would end my life you see,
Cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself 
That you found someone else. 

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

People say believe half 
Of what you see, son,
And none of what you hear.
I can't help being confused 
If it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go 
For the other guy that you knew before?
