It means to hear gossip or a rumor spreading around from person to person.<br /><br />According to the lyrics, the broken hearted one heard through the grapevine about his lover's plan to make him blue. He learned that he would be loosing her.<br /><br />He said, "You could of told me yourself that you loved someone else. Instead I heard it through the grapevine. Not much longer would you be mine."<br /><br />This song can be for a guy or a girl to sing. There are a lot of broken hearted men as well as broken hearted women loosing the one that they love. And I betcha some of them think of this song.....
