Aloe Blacc - Miss Fortune

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. 

"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 

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

miss fortune, miss fortune
