Chorus I 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 the money that I have might be good for some Is a 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 Between riding in a bus or driving a new Rolls Royce (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 Now Miss Fortune is a spoilt little Debutante And it’s my fault so I suggest you take my head Chorus So you met my little girl Miss Fortune And you know that I’m a very rich man I told you to preceed with caution If you wanna take my little girl’s hand See the money that I have might be good for some Is a down right 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 needs is stop acting like she's twelve years old When 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 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 he’s little girl’s hand See money don’t do everybody the same And it's down right dangerous to a brother And little Miss Fortune surely became Unfortunately just like her mother You gotta watch out for Miss Fortune Brothers you must proceed with caution Don’t let little lady luck pass you by 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 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 And what I could use is some good old grace But she refuses to show her face Miss Fortune Miss Fortune
