I Loves You, Porgy Lyrics by Clamma Dale, Donnie Ray Albert

Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[BESS]
I wants to stay here, but I ain't worthy
You is too decent to understand
For when I see him, he hypnotize me
When he take hold of me with his hot hand
Someday I know he's comin' back to call me
He's goin' to handle me and hold me so
It's goin' to be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me
But when he calls, I know I gotta go
[PORGY]
If there weren't no Crown, Bess
If there was only just you and Porgy, what then?
[BESS]
I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive mе mad
If you can keep me, I wants to stay here
With you forеver, and I'd be glad
[PORGY]
There, there, Bess, you don't need to be afraid no more
You's picked up happiness and laid your worries down
You goin' to live easy, you goin' to live high
You goin' to outshine every woman in this town
And remember, when Crown come, that's my business
Bess!
[BESS & PORGY]
I loves you, Porgy (What you think I is anyway)
Don't let him take me (To let that dirty hound dog steal my woman?)
Don't let him handle me (If you want to stay with Porgy)
With his hot hand (You goin' to stay, you got a home now, honey)
And you got love
If you can keep me (So no more cryin', can't you understand?)
I wants to stay here (You goin' to go about your business, singin')
With you forever ('Cause you got Porgy)
I got my man (You got a man)
