Miss Fortune

[CHORUS 1]

Met a girl by the name of miss fortune,

her daddy was a very rich man

told me "son proceed with caution,

if you wanna take my little girls 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

"You see back when I was young and dumb, I had a choice

before me and mama fortune got wed

between riding in a bus or driving a new rolls rice, yeah

and I decided what I wanted was the bread

"But the problem with having everything you want

is you never really know what you need, hey

now miss fortune is this bored little debutant, and its my fault

so I suggest you take my heed.

[CHORUS 2]

"So you met my little girl miss fortune,

and you know that Im a very rich man

I told you to proceed with caution,

if you wanna take my little girls 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"

Hey, well I thanked miss fortunes father, said, I understand

but youre tryin to talk me down, yes you are

listen here you aint have to brother, cuz im a real strong man

Im sure I could 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 12 years old

When she 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 everyday spending money, and all kinds of ridiculous things

see I forgot what life was all about, little miss fortune was to blame

[CHORUS 3]

So I married this girl miss fortune,

and his daddy was a very rich man

and even though he told me take caution,

I still took his little girls hand

see money dont do everybody the same,

and its downright danger to a brother

and little miss fortune surely became,

unfortunately just like her mother, hey

You gotta watch out for miss fortune,

brothers you must proceed with caution

dont 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 wont give me a chance

and what I could use is some good old grace,

but she refuses to show her face

all i wanted was a little dance with lady luck but

she wont give me a chance

and what I could use is some good old grace,

but she refuses to show her face

Miss fortune, miss fortune
