and I’m just a bout to lose my mind.

Hon ey, hon ey, yeah.

Peo You know that a man ain’t sup posed to cry

but these tears I can’t hold in (G)side.

Los in’ you would end my life, you see,

’cause you mean that you much to me.

You could have told to me your self

that you loved you some one else.

In stead, I (Dm)heard it through the grape vine,

not much long er would you be mine.

Ooh, I (Dm)heard it through the grape vine,

and I’m just a bout to lose my mind.

Hon ey, hon ey, yeah.
