I Wants To Stay Here
I want to stay here, but I ain't worthy
You are too decent to understand
For when I see him, he hypnotize me
When he takes hold of me with his hot hand
Someday, I know he's coming 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 have to go
When he calls, I know I have to go
I love you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
And I'd be glad
There, there, Bess, you don't need to be afraid no more
You've picked up happiness and laid your worries down
You're goin' to live easy, you're goin' to live high
You're goin' to outshine every woman in this town
And remember, when crown comes, you'll love Porgy
Ooh, I love you so much, Porgy
I will always be yours
I wanna stay with Porgy
I'm going to stay, I got a home now
And we got love
So, no more crying, can't you understand?
Where going about our businesses
'Cause I got Porgy
I got my man
I love you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
And I'd be glad
You are too decent to understand
For when I see him, he hypnotize me
When he takes hold of me with his hot hand
Someday, I know he's coming 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 have to go
When he calls, I know I have to go
I love you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
And I'd be glad
There, there, Bess, you don't need to be afraid no more
You've picked up happiness and laid your worries down
You're goin' to live easy, you're goin' to live high
You're goin' to outshine every woman in this town
And remember, when crown comes, you'll love Porgy
Ooh, I love you so much, Porgy
I will always be yours
I wanna stay with Porgy
I'm going to stay, I got a home now
And we got love
So, no more crying, can't you understand?
Where going about our businesses
'Cause I got Porgy
I got my man
I love you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
And I'd be glad
