I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Your mama said, Son Don't call my daughter no more! Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else

Come on back home, baby, try my love one more time Come on back home, baby, try my love one more time You've been gone away so long I'm just about to lose my mind Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else

Honey, honey, yeah
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 'Cause you mean that much to me You could have told me yourself That you've found someone else Instead, I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Oooh, I heard it through the grapevine And I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, well People say believe half of what you see Son, and none of what you hear I can't help being confused If it's true, please tell me, dear Do you plan to let me go For the other guy that you loved before? Don't you know, I heard it through the grapevine Not much longer would you be mine Baby, I heard it through the grapevine Oooh, I'm just about to lose my mind Honey, honey, yeah
