Gaye, Marvin - I Heard It Through The Grapevine Lyrics






I bet you're wonderin' 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 loved 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.
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby

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
That you loved 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
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby

People say believe half of what you see
Some and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah

Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah yeah

    Jeremiah 25:4
    “And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.”

    1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; 2The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 3From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 4And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 5They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: 6And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. 7Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

    😍😍😍😍😍😍 im 29 yrs old. My grand parents are from the south. Them road trips as 7 or 8 yrs old hated them longggggg trips with my grandparents. And they played old school, 16 hrs there and back. By the time we was coming back to Cleveland I was tapping my feet. This is my allllllllllllllllllllllll time favorite song.... Along with The Temptations, Al Green, more Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and many many many mannnnny more. They dont make songs like this nooooooooooooooo more. Now Motown Records is just a Museum. 😪

  42. T.... ....

    You just can't get more classy than this.

    [Verse 1]
    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
    Don't you know that

    [Chorus]
    I heard it through the grapevine
    Not much longer would you be mine
    Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
    Oh, and I'm just about to lose my mind
    Honey, honey, yeah (heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)

    [Verse 2]
    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
    Because you mean that much to me
    You could have told me yourself
    That you love someone else
    Instead


    [Chorus]
    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 not much longer would you be my baby)

    [Verse 3]
    People say "believe half of what you see
    Son and none of what you hear"
    But 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 you loved before?
    Don't you know

    [Chorus]
    I heard it through the grapevine
    Not much longer would you be mine, baby
    I heard it through the grapevine
    I'm just about to lose my mind
    Honey, honey, yeah (heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)

    [Outro]
    Honey, Honey, I know (heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)
    That you're letting me go (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Said I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be my baby)
    Oh, heard it thought the grapevine (yeah, yeah, yeah)

  78. W.... C....

    If you could hear only one version of this song for the rest of your life--Marvin Gaye's or Credence Clearwater Revival's--which would it be? In fairness, you ought to listen them both before voting.

    It's interesting that this version by Marvin Gaye and the version by CCR at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93S_l0qZrXA were uploaded at almost the same time, and each has 116,000 likes.

  79. L.... S....
