| I heard it through the grapevine
|
| That you ain’t feelin' too fine
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do
|
| You looked into my eyes
|
| You said to me that night
|
| That you would never cheat on me
|
| Or break my heart
|
| Inside I never knew
|
| Your love was so untrue
|
| I thought that I was your only
|
| Boy, was I wrong, so wrong
|
| Never do somethin' that’ll catch up to ya
|
| (You had to lose a damn good thing)
|
| Lovin' me could have been good
|
| (Losing my love was a shame, baby)
|
| I heard it through the grapevine
|
| That you ain’t feelin' too fine (No, no, baby)
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do (I really do, baby) really
|
| Happened on the day I left
|
| Since that day you haven’t been the best (You haven’t been the best, baby, no,
|
| no, no)
|
| And I hope that you feel much better (Oh)
|
| Yes, I do
|
| We choose to play love games
|
| We lose, we face the pain
|
| Those lonely nights and that heartache
|
| That empty space
|
| I’ll share with you, my dreams
|
| Those precious tender things
|
| Everybody plays a fool
|
| I guess I played my part for you
|
| Never do somethin' that’ll catch up to ya
|
| (You had to lose a damn good thing)
|
| Lovin' me could have been good
|
| (Losing my love was a shame, baby)
|
| I heard it through the grapevine
|
| That you ain’t feelin' too fine
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do (I really do, baby) really
|
| Happened on the day I left
|
| Since that day you haven’t been the best (You haven’t been the best, babe)
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do
|
| Oh, boy, you had my faith, you had my trust, you had my love
|
| But now I have to take it back, it didn’t work for us
|
| And all I really needed was your lovin'
|
| Yes, all I really needed was your lovin'
|
| I was your lady and there’s nothin that I would not do
|
| Now here’s a Dear John letter that I’ve written just for you
|
| And all I really needed was your lovin'
|
| Yes, all I really needed was your lovin', hey
|
| Never do somethin' that’ll catch up to ya
|
| (You did me wrong and told me lies)
|
| Never do somethin' that you’ll live to regret
|
| (You hurt me so bad now babe)
|
| Deep in my heart I feel sorry for ya
|
| (You had to lose a damn good thing)
|
| Lovin' me could have been good
|
| (Losing my good love was such a shame, baby)
|
| I heard it through the grapevine
|
| That you ain’t feelin' too fine
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do (I really do, baby)
|
| Happened on the day I left
|
| Since that day you haven’t been the best (You haven’t been the best, baby)
|
| And I hope that you feel much better
|
| Yes, I do (Oh, lovin', oh, no)
|
| Heard it through, heard it through (No-no-no-no-no-no-no)
|
| I heard it through that great grapevyne (I heard it)
|
| Heard it through (Grapevyne), heard it through
|
| Grapevyne, grapevyne |
