Miss Fortune Lyrics
Chorus
I met a girl by the name of Miss Fortune
Her dady was a very rich man
He told me son proceed with caution
If you wanna take my little girl's hand
See money that I have might be good for some
downright danger to another
And little Miss Fortune is sure to become
Unfortunately just like her mother
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e50914-aloe_blacc~miss_fortune_lyrics.html ]
"you see" back when I was young and dumb
I had a choice
Before me and mama Fortune got wed
Between riding a bus or driving a new Rolls Royce yeah
And I decided what I wanted was the "bread"
But the problem "with" having in everything you want
Is you never really know what you need
Now Miss Fortune is this bored little debutant
And it's my fault so I suggest you take my heed
Chorus
So you met my little girl Miss Fortune
And you know that I'm a very rich man
I told you to proceed with caution
If you wanna take my little girl's hand
See the money that I have might be good for "some"
its downright danger To another
And little Miss Fortune is sure to become
Unfortunately just like her mother
Well I thanked Miss Fortune´s father
Said I understand
But you're trying to talk me down
Yes you are
Listen here:
You ain't have to bother
‘Cause I'm a real strong man
I'm sure I can turn your daughter around
See what she needs is someone who can take control
Let the girl know her place and how to play her role
Tell her all the money in the world cannot replace her soul
and she need to stop acting like shes twelve years old
When I put the ring on her finger
Everything started to change
And I looked at myself in the mirror
and oh I was looking strange
She had me out every day spending money
and all kinds of ridiculous things
See I forgot what life was all about
Little Miss Fortune was to blame
Chorus
So I married this girl Miss Fortune
Her father was a very rich man
And even though he told me take caution
i still took his little girl's hand
See money don't do everybody the same
downright danger to a brother
And little Miss Fortune was sure to become
Unfortunately just like her mother
You gotta watch out for Miss Fortune
brothers you must proceed with caution
Don't let lady luck pass you by
whoah might as well give good grace a try
All I wanted was a little dance with Lady Luck
But she won't give me a chance
What I could use is some good old grace
But she refuses to show her face
And all I wanted was a little dance with Lady Luck
But she won't give me a chance
What I could use is some good old grace
But she refuses to show her face
