[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,
It's 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 it's my fault
So I suggest you take my heed.


[Chorus 2:]
"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 girls hand
See the money that I have might be good for some,

It's 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 you're tryin to talk me down, yes you are

Listen here you ain't have to brother, cause I'm a real strong man
I'm 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 don't do everybody the same,
And it's 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
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

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 won't 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
