Fortune Teller Why'd you have to tell me that Fortune Teller That my baby's gonna leave me flat It might take a week and it might take a month It might be when I'm old and fat I wish I didn't know what you told me, oh Why'd you have to tell me that
We just heard wedding bells She had that new bride smell As we were walking down The boulevards of New Orleans She saw your window signs And your neon lights Twenty dollars for a reading From the Cajun Queen
You read my tarot cards and my tea leaf shards Said the lines upon my palm proved I'd live in pain Why'd you tell me that, I want my ignorance back Back when I believed she'd love me Until my dying day
