To me only she leaves it
In turn I leave it to her
In our hiding holes of habit
Things don’t move any far.
In this funny game
Consensus is scarce
In the fear of blame
Taking a decision scares.
She tells me *it’s for you to decide
Ways to cut the rising bills
How to stop our savings’ slide
Still have two square meals.*
I tell her *in your hands is the rein
To check unneeded outflow
Find some ways to build a gain
Some savings for the future to show.*
She retorts *don’t say you’ve no clue
The way I manage the pence
What you bring can hardly accrue
Any surplus post expense.*
Things go on like they did before
With us never reaching a deal
Yet our lives happily soar
The way we lovingly will.

To me only she leaves it
In turn I leave it to her
In our hiding holes of habit
Things don’t move any far.
In this funny game
Consensus is scarce
In the fear of blame
Taking a decision scares.
She tells me *it’s for you to decide
Ways to cut the rising bills
How to stop our savings’ slide
Still have two square meals.*
I tell her *in your hands is the rein
To check unneeded outflow
Find some ways to build a gain
Some savings for the future to show.*
She retorts *don’t say you’ve no clue
The way I manage the pence
What you bring can hardly accrue
Any surplus post expense.*
Things go on like they did before
With us never reaching a deal
Yet our lives happily soar
The way we lovingly will.
