I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Marvin Gaye cover) Lyrics
Oo Bet you´re wond´ring how I knew ´bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before?
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say when I found out yesterday. Oo
CHORUS:
I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine.
Oo I heard it through the grapevine and I´m just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.
You know that a man ain´t supposed to cry, but these tears I can´t hold
inside. Losin´ you would end my life you see, ´cause you mean that much to
me. You could have told me yourself that you found someone else. Instead,
CHORUS
People say you ´Hear from what you see, na na not from what you hear.´ I
can´t help bein´ confused; if it´s true, won´t you tell me dear? Do you
plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before? Oo,
CHORUS

i love how he pronounces heard ("heyd").
"Heard it through the grapevine" is an expression that comes from the way a grapevine spreads. When a rumor is started, it spreads quickly and widely, like a grapevine
I believe that CCR do a better job at singing this song than the almight Marvin Gaye. I think it sounds better with sung by CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
This song is awesome...even though it is 11:07 minutes long it never gets boring
I love this version and find it addictive. It is so dark and moody, it could be interpreted as a murder ballad....the longer the song goes on, the more the feeling of dread increases. You can just feel the singer's dismay turn toward anger.
With the greatest respect to Marvin Gaye, who I also like, I agree with Outsider, this is better than the origional. I love the dark heavy guitar, the drumming and the vocals. I dont think it needs saying what this song is about, a guy finding out about his girlfriends wandering ways.
Exactly, He found out that his girl was cheatin on him. that bitch
I agree this versions better than the Marvin gaye version, which I never liked that much. Go Creedence.
One of many great songs always on the radio.
I like singing this song while driving up the grape vine. this is one of my favorite songs.
