I Heard It Through the Grapevine Songtext
von The Slits

I bet, I bet, I bet
I bet you′re wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
We′re two of a kind, you know I love you more

Took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
How not much longer will you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby

Oh, I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can′t hold inside
Losin′ you would mean my life, you see
'Cause you mean that much to me


You could have told me you′d stay
Or that you love, love

I heard it through the bass loud
How not much longer will you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby

People see the half of what you see
Run and hide from 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 this other guy you knew before?

I heard it through the grapevine
How not much longer will you be mine
Oh babe, I heard it through the grapevine
I′m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey


I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby, too
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby, no

Heard it through the grapevine (grapevine, grapevine)
Not much longer will you be my baby (grapevine, grapevine)
Duh-da-da-da-da
Heard it through the grapevine (grapevine, grapevine)
Not much longer will you be my baby (grapevine, grapevine)
Duh-da-da-da-da

I heard it through the grapevine (grapevine, grapevine)
Not much longer will you be my baby (grapevine, grapevine)
Duh-da-da-da-da
I heard it through the grapevine (grapevine, grapevine)
Not much longer will you be my baby (grapevine, grapevine)
Duh-da-da-da-da

I bet you're wondering how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other girl you knew before
We′re two of a kind, you know I love you more

Do you plan to let me go
For this other guy you knew before, huh?

I′m just about to lose my mind
And I'm just about to lose my mind, honey
I′m just about to lose my mind
And I'm just about to lose my mind (yea, you got it)
