Me too, despite the fact that it's basically a song about a man who claims to be in love with a prostitute, but then decides to show his boundless love by making her quit her job and presumably become financially dependant on his income - because of his emotional issues with regards to jealousy and possessiveness and all...
Or, maybe he's simply the kind of guy who simply doesn't want his womenfolk working/making more money than him, regardless of occupation, because of religious views or whatever - the person the song is sung about sounds like a comple jerk in the middle of the song - he implies she should be grateful he didn't disrespect her but tells her to but her stuff away and to stop working because "it's a bad way" and he doesn't want to "share" her (which implies he's either very jealous and thinks she'll magically fall in love with a client - highly unlikely - or he doesn't seem to understand that prostitutes deal in sex not love)
