Fortune Teller- The Rolling Stones

Fortune Teller
by:The Rolling Stones
=======================
Lyrics:
Went to the fortune teller
To have my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

Siad she'd take a look at my palm
She said "Son, you feel kinda warm"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "You're in love"

Said it could not be so
I'm not passionate with the girls I know
She said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes

I 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 told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she make 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

Now I'm a happy fellow
Well I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
Now I get my fortune told for free

Now I'm a happy fellow
Well I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we can be
And I get my fortune told for free

This is the crappy version with the audience screams tacked onto it that the fools at US London put on The Stones' live album. This and "I've Been Loving you Too Long" were studio tracks.

Check out the Australian band The Throb's version from back in 1966. THIS one is the best version by far, but then I'm Aussie biased!

Original from BENNY SPELLMAN

[doreenproos]

I agree that the Throbs are the best version (by far).

@overbrookXXX Yes, I know. But in the next verse he says crystal ball. But, I'm not going to discuss about it haha

[tomasrega]

@overbrookXXX Yes, but then he says: And she looked into her crystal ball, so it's confusing.
