Fortune Teller
Dogs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Fortune Teller" by The Dogs is a classic rock tune with an upbeat tempo that tells a story of a young man who visits a fortune teller with the intention of having his future revealed. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody is catchy, making it an unforgettable tune from the 1960s. The song's narrative is similar to many others of its era, describing the liminal phase of youth when romance and personal discovery are both possible and necessary. The singer could be considered the quintessential adolescent male who is filled with doubt and uncertainty, but eager to find out exactly what the future holds for him.

The song begins with the young man seeking out the fortune teller, who reads his palm and informs him that he is in love. Despite denying that he is in love, the fortune teller insists that when the right girl comes along, he will know it. Unfortunately, the fortune teller's predictions turn out to be a lie, leading the singer to challenge and dismiss her. It's only after a celestial force shakes him to his core, leading him back to the fortune teller, that he falls in love with her. Overall, the song cleverly weaves a tale of the power of love, chance, and fate in shaping our lives.
