Story behind the song

I was just driving home one day and saw this sign in a store front window, "Psychic" "Fortune Teller". I got thinking about what it might be like to be married to a fortune teller.  Spooky thought, considering wives usually know what their men are up to anyway.  So I put a little chauvinistic / romantic twist to the idea.

Lyrics

Fortune Teller Woman

I’ve got a woman, a fortune teller
You know that she, can read my mind
And I can’t keep, nothing from here
Even troubles, I can’t hide

When I lay awake, holding my head
And I don’t feel, much like a man
Not a word, need be said
She just seems, to understand

I got a woman, she’s like a fortune teller
When I need her, don’t have to tell her
So find yourself a fortune teller,
One who knows, how to read her man

I’ve got a woman, a fortune teller
Seems to follow me, everywhere I go
When I feel, under the weather
She just whispers, “Baby I know”

When I’m down, and feeling blue
She just knows, when to pull me through
Don’t need to say, what I’m thinking of
She’s always there, when I need her love
