I Loves You, Porgy Songtext / Lyric

(George & Ira gershwin / Dubose Heyward)



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 with you forever

And I'll be glad






I love you, porgy

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

With his hot hands



If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

I like my man



Someday I know he's coming

Back to call me

He's gonna handle me

And hold me so



It's going to be like dying, porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes, I know

I'll have to go
