Aloe Blacc - Miss Fortune lyrics

rate me

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

"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
