I Heard It Though the Grape Vine
FM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Ah, but two of us guys, you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that...
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be mine
Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah, ow!
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
'Cos, baby, you mean that much to me
You should've told me yourself
That you love somebody else
Instead...
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be mine
Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah, ow!
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before
Don't you know...
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be mine
Yeah, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
But you know
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby, be my baby
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer will you be my baby
Don't you know
I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
I bet you're wondering how I knew
Heard it through the grapevine
About you're plans to make me blue
Heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine
In "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," the singer finds out from a different source that his significant other is planning to leave him for someone else. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal, shock, and heartbreak. The phrase "heard it through the grapevine" itself indicates that the information is not coming directly from the source, but through rumors or gossip.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has deep feelings for his partner, expressed in the lines "two of us guys, you know I love you more" and "losing you would end my life, you see/'Cos, baby, you mean that much to me." These lyrics convey the desperation and sadness felt by the singer as he contemplates the impending end of his relationship.
The repetition of the phrase "heard it through the grapevine" emphasizes the central message of the song and underscores the idea that information and rumors can have a significant impact on people's lives. The song serves as a warning to listeners to be careful about what they say and who they trust with sensitive information, as it can have devastating consequences.

So great to see this video up here. I remember watching this when it came out and the rock programme was on ITV on Saturday morning at 2am!! I'd forgotten Andy had a Frankenstein Jackson guitar, which I think glowed in the dark!!

Awesome Rock version of this Classic Marvin Gaye Song, hats off to you gents.!.

Weird finding this after all this time, but saw FM perform this live when they were supporting Whitesnake in 1994-ish. It was much more heavy-rocky than this and blew us away to be honest. We were concerned as to whether Mr.Coverdales guys could keep their end up so to speak ;-)
