A husband must have control over his wife,
Without which he does not feel secure,
This is the case-
For most men.
I must earn more than you,
Otherwise I am not a man,
You understand, dear?
I love you.
But my mother tells me I must have a bit of my own savings,
A woman must protect herself,
In case of emergency,
Is that not so?
Silly girl!
You stay at home and be a good mother and wife,
About money-
Leave that to me.
But I must look out for myself,
Oh I know we two make one whole,
But I just don’t want to be-
Totally under your control.
And this-alas,
The tension-
Between a couple- of money,
And of a woman’s secret savings.
