Fortune Teller Lyrics

Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Took a look at my palm
She said, "Son, you feel kind of warm"
She looked into a crystal ball
She said, "You're in love"

How could that be so?
I thought of all the girls I know
She said, "When the next one arrives
You'll be looking into her eyes"

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Mmm

Left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie

I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I said I didn't see nobody
Why had she made a fool out of me?
Then something struck me
As if it came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha

Now I'm a happy feller
'Cause I'm married to the fortune teller
And I'm as happy as we can be
And now I get my fortune told for free

Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha
Ah ah ahaha

Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Oh oh, yeah
Ooh, yes, I did
Oh oh oh, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
