Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
'bout your plans to stack the crew
With some other guy you coached before
Between the two of us guys you know I'll sit the four
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Dontcha know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer was the seat mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Bitter, twisted yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would I have the stroke seat, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' crew would end my life you see
cause rowing means that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you selected someone else
Instead I
Heard it through the grapevine
It's no ones race if it's not mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Match fixing rowing's not the first time
Bitter, twisted yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would I have the stroke seat yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If this is gonna be the final straw
before you ship me off to foreign shores
Make sure you know I'm watchin you
As you over see the Henley blues
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy and stack the crew?
Dontcha know I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer was the seat mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Bitter, twisted yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would I have the stroke seat, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Bitter, twisted I know
That you're lettin' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
FADE
