When you are asked to choose br Between love and money br As a young girl br Born with a wooden - not silver - br Spoon, br What will you pick? br Do not say love, br Unless you wish to deceive br Yourself. br I am told that women br Are to be loved br But that love is sometimes br Too feeble even in her own home, br So that when poverty comes br In at the door br Love instead of struggling him away br Flies out the window br To God knows where.
