I Loves You Porgy

Lyrics

[Intro: Sammy Davis Jr.] You ain't got nothin' to be afraid of I ain't gonna try to keep no woman that don't wanna stay If you wants to go to Crown, well, that's for you to say [Verse 1: Carmen McRae] 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 hands [Bridge: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.] Someday I know he's coming back to call me He's gonna handle me and hold me so It's gonna be like dying, Porgy, deep inside me But when he calls, I know I have to go But if there were no Crown, Bess If there was just only you and Porgy, what then? [Verse 2: Carmen McRae] I loves you, Porgy, don't let him take me Don't lеt him handle me and drive mе mad If you can keep me, I want to stay here With you forever, and I'd be glad [Interlude: Sammy Davis Jr.] There, there, Bess, you don't need to be afraid no more You picked up happiness and laid your worries down You're gonna live easy, you're gonna live high You're gonna outshine every woman in this town And remember, when Crown comes, that's my business Bess! [Verse 3: Carmen McRae & Sammy Davis Jr.] I loves you, Porgy (What you think I is anyway) Don't let him take me (To let another fellow steal my woman?) Don't let him handle me (If you wants to stay with Porgy, you gonna stay) With his hot hand (You got a home now, honey, you got love) If you can keep me (So no more cryin', can't you understand?) I wants to stay here (You're gonna go about your business, singin') With you forever ('Cause you got Porgy) I got my man (You got your man)
