I Heard It Through The Grapevine , Part 1 - Roger Troutman

Ooh… grapevine

Ooh… grapevine (grapevine)

Ooh… grapevine, heard it through the grapevine

Ooh… sho-nuff, I need you

I heard that you’re gonna leave me, baby (oh, I)

I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine

Somebody told me 'bout your plans to leave me

I, I, I, I heard it through the grapevine

Bet you’re wondering how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between both us guys, you know I love you much more

Took me by surprise, I must say

When I found out yesterday, oh yeah

I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)

I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)

Ooh… grapevine

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Don’t you ever leave me, girl

Because I need your love so bad

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 (mm, mm, mm)

Because you mean that much to me

You could have told me yourself

That you love someone else

I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)

Not much longer would you be mine (longer would you be mine)

I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Don’t you leave meee… grapevine

I don’t want nobody else, baby

I don’t want nobody else

Don’t you leave me, don’t you leave me

Don’t you leave me, don’t you leave me

Oh, don’t leave me, don’t you

Ow, ow (I), ow, ow (oh, I), ow, ow…

Not much longer, longer would you be mine

Not much longer, longer would you be mine

(It's tearin' my mind)

Not much longer, longer would you be mine

(You've got me cryin')

Not much longer, longer would you be mine…
