I loves ya Porgy
Don’t let him take me
Don’t let him handle me
And drive me mad

If you can keep me
Porgy, I wanna stay here
With you forever
I got my man

Someday, I know
He’s comin’ back to call me
He’s going to handle me and hold me
It’s gonna be like dyin’, Porgy
But when he calls me
I’ll have to go

I loves ya Porgy
Don’t let him handle me
With his hot hands

If you can keep me
I wanna stay here
With you forever
And ever, ever and ever
Ever and ever
Porgy, I got my man
