Grapevyne Lyrics

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 feelin' 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 somethin' that'll catch up to ya
(You did me wrong and told me lies)
Never do somethin' 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)
Lovin' 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 somethin' that'll catch up to ya
(You did me wrong and told me lies)
Never do somethin' 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)
Lovin' 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 lovin'
Yes, all I really needed was your lovin'

I was your lady and there's nothin' 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 lovin'
Yes, all I really needed was your lovin', hey...

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

I heard it through the grapevine
That you ain't feelin' 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

Brownstone was a Grammy Award nominated female R&B group popular during the mid-1990s. They are best known for the 1995 hit single, "If You Love Me". They also had some success with the singles "Grapevyne", and "I Can't Tell You Why", a song originally recorded by the Eagles.

The three original members of Brownstone were Nicole "Nicci" Gilbert, Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell and Monica "Mimi" Doby. The group was founded in Los Angeles after the three singers met each other after going to different auditions around the city. They formed the group, and less than a year later were signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music Record Label. They recorded their debut album, From the Bottom Up which spawned the hit "If You Love Me". In 1995 the band was rewarded with a Grammy nomination and a Billboard Music Award.

After extensive touring around the globe, Doby left the group after what was released in the media. In an interview with BET Video Soul host Donnie Simpson Doby cited a medical problem of bronchitis, but was later revealed to be because of internal strife with the other two members of the group[citation needed]. She was replaced by Kina Cosper and after a difficult transition period where their audience was not very receptive to the change, Brownstone had a brief showing with "5 Miles to Empty". However, the group never regained their popularity, and their subsequent albums were considered commercial failures.

Since the group broke up Nicole "Nicci" Gilbert has acted in the 1998 film Woo, staring Jada Pinkett Smith and Dave Chappelle, as well as television shows Living Single, Sister, Sister, New York Undercover, and Martin and the 2004 Tyler Perry play Meet the Browns as Aunt Vera.
