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

    Said she'd take a look at my palm
    Said "Son, do you feel kind of warm?"
    And she looked into her crystal ball
    Said "You're in love"

    Said it could not be so
    Not with all the girls I know
    Said when the next one arrives
    Looking into her eyes

    I left there in a hurry
    Much to my big surprise
    The next thing I discovered
    The fortune teller told me lies

    So I ran back to that woman
    Mad as I could be
    Told her I didn't see nobody
    How she made a fool out of me

    At last something shook me
    As if it came down from above
    And now the fortune teller
    And I fell in love Writer/s: ALLEN TOUSSAINT
