I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Gladys Knight & The Pips
Written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong

Released 9/28/67, made the top 40 on 11/04/67 where it spent 14 weeks
Highest charted position was #2,

Ooh, I bet you`re wond`rin` how I knew
Baby, baby, baby, `bout your plans to make me blue [how]
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls ya know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday.

Don`t ya know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, don`t ya know that I heard it through the grapevine
And I`m just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am.

Baby won`t you listen to me.

Boy take a good look at these tears of mine
Baby, baby these tears I can`t hold inside
Losin` you would end my life you see
Because you mean that much to me
You could`ve told me yourself
That you love some body else.

Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Oh-h, not much longer you be mine
Oh, I heard it, yes, I heard it [heard it through the grapevine]
Oh, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am

Go-o-o-o-o, go
Go, I gotta go
Go, go
You gotta let me go
Go, go, go
I gotta go whoa, whoa, whoa

Say believe half of what you see
Oh, ho, and none of what you hear
Baby, but I just can`t help bein` confused
If it`s true please baby, won`t ya tell me dear
Oh-h-h, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
Don`t ya know that I heard through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don`t ya know that I heard it, yes I heard it
