I Loves You Porgy

Nina Simone

I loves you Porgy

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me, I wants to stay here

With you forever and I'd be glad

I loves you Porgy

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

With his hot hand

If you can keep me, I wants to stay here

With you forever

I got my man



Someday, I know he's comin' back

To call me...

He's gonna handle me and hold me so

It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy,

Deep inside me,

But when he calls I know I have to go



Porgy, I's your woman now

I is, I is...

And I ain't never goin' nowhere

'Less you shares the fun

Want no wrinkle on your brow,

No how

Because the sorrow of the past is all

Done, done

My Porgy,

Now the real happiness is just begun

There's no wrinkle on my brow

No how

And I ain't goin'

You hear me saying, if you ain't goin',

With you I'm stayin'



Porgy, I's yo' woman now,

I's yours forever...

Mornin' time and evenin' time

And summer time and winter time

Mmm...

Oh my Porgy...

My man Porgy...

From this minute I'm tellin' you,

I keep this vow...

Porgy, I's yo' woman now!
