1 - I heard it through the grapevine
That you ain't feeling too fine
And I hope that you feel much better
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 really knew
Your love was so untrue
I thought that I was your only
Boy, was I wrong, so wrong
2 - Never do something that will catch up to ya
You had to loose a damn good thing
Loving me could have been good
Losing my love was a shame baby
Repeat 1
We choose to play love games
We lose, we face the pain
Those lonely nights and that heartache
That empty space
I shared with you my dreams
Those precious tender things
Everybody plays a fool
I guess I played my part for you
Repeat 2
Repeat 1
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 loving
Yes all I really needed was your loving
I was your lady and there's nothing 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 loving
Yes all I really needed was your loving
Repeat 2
Repeat 1
