The Slits
"I Heard It Through The Grapevine"


i bet i bet i bet
i bet you're wondering how i knew
about your plans to make me blue
with some other guy you knew before
we're two of kind you know i love you more
took me by suprise i must say
when i found out yesterday

oh heard it through the grapevine
not much longer will you be mine
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 mine baby

oh 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
cuz you mean that much to me
you could have told me yourself that you loved...

heard it through the grace line
not much longer will you be mine
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 mine baby

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 this other you knew before

oh heard it through the grapevine
not much longer will you be mine
i heard it through the grapevine
and i'm just about to lose my mind honey honey
i heard it through the garpevine
not much longer will you be mine baby
i heard it through the grapevine
not much longer will you be mine baby

betcha wondering how i knew
about your plans to make me blue
with some other guy you knew before
we're two of kind you know i love you more
do you plan to let me go
for this other you knew before
and i'm just about to lose my mind
and i'm just about to lose my mind
and i'm just about to lose my mind
and i'm just about to lose my mind
