Grapevyne

(album: From The Bottom Up - 1995)

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

Deep in my heart I feel sorry for ya
(You had to lose a damn good thing)
Loving 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 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 something that'll catch up to ya
(You did me wrong and told me lies)
Never do something that you'll live to regret
(You hurt me so bad, babe)

Deep in my heart I feel sorry for ya
(You had to lose a damn good thing)
Loving me could have been good
(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
But now I have to take it back, it didn't work for us
And all I really needed was your loving
Yes, all I really needed was your loving

I was your lady and there's nothing 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 loving
Yes, all I really needed was your loving, hey...

Never do something that'll catch up to ya
(You did me wrong and told me lies)
Never do something 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)
Loving me could have been good
(Losing my good love was such a shame)

I heard it through the grapevine
That you ain't feeling 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)

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