Miss Fortune - Aloe Blacc

Met a girl by the name of Miss Fortune

Her daddy 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

And down right danger to another

And little Miss Fortune is sure to become

Unfortunately just like her mother

Hey he said, «Back when I was young and dumb, I had a choice»

Before me and mama Fortune got wed, mmm

Between riding in a bus or driving a new Rolls Royce yeah

And I decided what I wanted was the bread, hey

But the problem with having everything you want, mmm

Is you never really know what you need, hey

Now Miss Fortune is a spoiled little debutante

And it’s my fault so I suggest you take my heed

So you met my little girl Miss Fortune

And you know that I’m a very rich man

I told you to precede with caution

If you wanna take my little girl’s hand

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

Hell she needs is stop acting like twelve years old

Well she put the ring on her finger

Everything started to change

And I looked at myself in the mirror

You know I was looking strange

She had me out every day spending money

On all kinds of ridiculous things

See I forget what life was all about

Little Miss Fortune was to blame

So I married this girl Miss Fortune

Whose daddy 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

And it’s down right 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, no

And 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

Miss Fortune, Miss Fortune
