I met a girl by the name of Miss Fortune
Her dady was a very rich man
He told me with sympathy: take caution
If you wanna take my little girl's hand
See money that I have might be good for something
.. to another
And little Miss Fortune is short to become
Unfortunately just like her mother
I've seen her 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 ....
But the problem we're having in everything you want
Is you never really know what you need
Now Miss Fortune is as poor as little Debbie Toung
And it's my fault so I suggest you take my heal/heat
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 money that I have might be good for something
.... To another
And little Miss Fortune was short 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 please her sole
What she needs is stop acting like twelve years old
When I 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 asked me out every day spending money
No cars were ever big as theirs
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
If I would took he's little girl's hand
See money don't do everybody the same
.... to a brother
And little Miss Fortune was short to become
Unfortunately just like her mother
You gotta watch out for Miss Fortune
But you must proceed with caution
Don't let little lady look pass you by
.... give the race a try
All I wanted was a little dance with Lady Luck
But she won't give me a chance
What I could use was a little 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 was a little grace
But she refuses to show her face
Miss Fortune Miss Fortune
