I Heard It Through the Grapevine (LP Version) Lyrics

Grapevine
(Grapevine)

Ooh, grapevine, ooh, grapevine
(Grapevine)
Ooh, grapevine, ooh, sho' 'nuff I need you
(Heard it through the grapevine)

I heard that you're gonna leave me, oh, I
Oh, yeah, I heard that you're gonna leave me, oh, I
I heard it through the grapevine, oh
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Somebody told me 'bout your plans to leave me
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine, oh, wow
(Wow)

Better you wondered how I knew 'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between us guys you know I love you much more
It took me by surprise, I must say, when I found out yesterday, oh, Lord

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine
(Heard it through the grapevine, longer would you be mine)
Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine
(Heard it through the grapevine, longer would you be mine)

Ooh, grapevine, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't leave me, girl, because I need your love so bad
I know a man ain't supposed to cry but these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see 'cause you mean that much to me
(Mmm, mmm, mmm)

You could have told me yourself that you love someone else

Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine
(Heard it through the grapevine, longer would you be mine)
Heard it through the grapevine, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(Heard it through the grapevine)
Baby, baby, baby, baby

Grapevine, I don't want nobody else, baby, I don't want nobody else
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me, don't you leave
Don't you leave me, no, don't leave me, don't do it, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Oh, I)

How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Please, don't tell your mama)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(She'll start cryin')

How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Never try me, try me, baby)
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
(I need you, I need you so bad)

How much longer, longer would you be mine?
How much longer, longer would you be mine?
(Need your lovin', need your lovin', need your love, your love, your love)
I really want you, waitin' for your love, your love, your love, your love
Ooh

Heard it through the grapevine
(Said, I heard it, said I heard it, baby
Don't you leave me, don't you leave me now)
Heard it through the grapevine
(Said, I heard it through, heard it through, heard it through, tell me)

Mmm, hmm, your love, you know I want it
(Just a little bit of soul now)
Your love, your love, got to have it, your love

How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Baby, mama, baby)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(I love you)
How much longer, darling, would you be mine?
(Ooh, ooh)

Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, oh, oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Roger

The name "Roger" can refer to three artists:

1) Roger Troutman (November 29, 1951 - April 25, 1999) was the lead singer of the band Zapp. Born in Hamilton, Ohio Troutman was the fourth of nine children. Like his mentor [George] Clinton, who recorded for several labels at the same time under different monikers, Troutman recorded simultaneously as Roger, releasing albums and hit singles on Warner Bros.

Innovative funkster Roger Troutman is considered by many the master of the Talk box -- an effects pedal usually used by guitarists, that Roger connected to keyboard to create robotic-sounding vocals. As a member of Zapp, a band that included his brothers Larry, Lester, and Terry, and recording under the solo moniker of Roger, he helped define and give life to a difficult-to-play instrument that previously was used for gimmicky effects and, as played by others, was basically devoid of personality. He'd often bring his Talk Box along on radio interviews, treating the listeners to his skills.

On Sunday, April 25, 1999, Roger Troutman was found shot and critically wounded outside a recording studio in Dayton, Ohio; he died during surgery at a local hospital. Roger's brother Larry was found dead in a car a few blocks away with a single gunshot wound to the head. It is likely that a personal dispute had developed between the two brothers; as far as can be determined, Larry shot Roger, then shot himself.

2) Teemu Metsälä - Armed with an electro pop manifesto in his head, wandering the rain soaked streets of Manchester, looking for like minded musical souls proved to be something of a waste of time for Finland's Teemu Metsälä. Although much critical acclaim followed the limited single releases and various compilation appearances he put out under his Roger moniker between 2002-2003, it was eventually the humans that failed him rather than the machines. Not one to be naturally confounded by this he responded to his newly found independence by writing some glacial electronic pop songs. Easily surpassing his previous work they led to Roger appearing at the ISEA and Carling Reading/Leeds music festivals during the summer of 2004.

3) Roger from the well known german Hip Hop Combo "Blumentopf"
