Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...I heard (I heard) it through grapevyne

(Boy, you know that I)
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, I really do) 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 (Oh...)
Yes, I do

You looked into my eyes
You said to me that night
Or break my heart
That you would never cheat on me

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 did me wrong and told me lies)
(You hurt me so bad, babe)
Never do somethin' that you'll live to regret
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 love was a shame, baby)
I heard it through the grapevine (Oh, no)
That you ain't feeling too fine (No-no-no, baby)
Hope that you feel much better

Yes, I do (I really, really do, baby) really
Happened on the day I left (It happened on the day I left)
Since that day you haven't been the best (You haven't been the best, baby)
Hope that you feel much better (No-no-no-no)
Yes, I do

We lose, we face the pain
We choose to play love games
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

(You did me wrong and told me lies)
Never do somethin' that'll catch up to ya
(You hurt me so bad, babe)
Never do somethin' that you'll live to regret

Deep in my heart I feel sorry for ya
Lovin' me could have been good
(You had to lose a damn good thing)
(Losing my love was a shame)

I heard it through the grapevine
That you ain't feeling too fine (Oh, no)
Hope that you feel much better
Yes, I do (I really, really do, baby) really
Happened on the day I left (It happened on the day I left)

Since that day you haven't been the best (You haven't been the best, baby)
Hope that you feel much better
Yes, I do

Oh, boy, you had my faith, you had my trust, you had my love
And all I really needed was your lovin'
But now I have to take it back, it didn't work for us
Yes, all I really needed was your lovin'

Now here's a Dear John letter that I've written just for you
I was your lady and there's nothin' that I would not do
Yes, all I really needed was your lovin', hey...
And all I really needed was your lovin'

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 baby)
Deep in my heart I feel sorry for you

(You had to lose a damn good thing)
Lovin' me could have been good
(Losing my good love was such a shame)

I heard it through the grapevine
That you ain't feelin' too fine (Oh, no)
Hope that you feel much better (Hey...)
Yes, I do (I really, 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)
Hope that you feel much better
Yes, I do (I love it, oh, no)

I heard it through that grapevyne (I heard it)
Heard it through, heard it through (No-no-no-no-no-no-no)
Heard it through (Grapevyne), heard it through
Grapevyne, grapevyne (I heard it)

Heard it through, heard it through
I heard it through that grapevyne
Hope that you feel much better
Yes, I do
