Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bet you wondered how I knew
About your plans to make me blue
With some other guy 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
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine... how much longer would you be my ba-bay

I knew a man is s'posed to cry
But these tears I can hold inside
Losing you would end my life, you see
Because you mean that much to me

You could have to-o-old me yourself
That you lo-o-oved someo-ne else

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine... how much longer would you be my ba-bay
I heard it through the grapevine... how much longer would you be my ba-bay


Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey
I heard it through the grapevine... how much longer would you be my ba-bay
I heard it through the grapevine... how much longer would you be my ba-bay


People say "Believe in what you see"
Instea-a-ad of what you hear
I can't help but be defused
If it's true, please tell me, dear

Do you pla-a-an to let me go?
For that other guy you knew before

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Oh oh I heard it through the grapevinex4

I heard it through the grapevine





Honey, honey

Overall Meaning

The song "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" by Rhythms Del Mundo in collaboration with Kaiser Chiefs is a cover of Marvin Gaye's 1968 hit song. The lyrics tell the story of a man who hears from someone else that his partner is planning to leave him for another man, and he is struggling to comprehend and accept this news. The repetition of the phrase "I heard it through the grapevine" signifies the idea of receiving information through informal channels, rather than directly from the person involved. The singer's confusion and desperation are evident in lines like "If it's true, please tell me, dear" and "Losing you would end my life, you see because you mean that much to me."


The song's themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and suspicion resonate with many people, and the soulful vocals and catchy melody make it an enduring classic. The addition of Kaiser Chiefs' indie-rock sound to the Rhythms Del Mundo cover gives it a fresh edge while staying true to the original.
