I LOVES YOU PORGY
Words Ira Gershwin - DuBose Heyward

Bess :
I wants to
stay here, but I ain't worthy. You is too
decent, to understan'. For when I
see him, he hypnotize me, when he take
hol' of me with his hot han'.
Someday, I know he's comin' back to call me,
he's goin' to handle me an' hol' me so.
It's goin' to be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me.
But when he calls, I know I have to go.

Porgy :
If dere warn't no
Crown, Bess, if dere was only just you an'
Porgy, what den?

Bess :
I loves you,
Porgy, don' let him take me, don' let him
handle me, an' drive me mad. If you kin
keep me, I wants to stay here, wid you for-
ever, an' I'd be glad.

Porgy :
There, there, Bess, you don' need to be a-
fraid, no, mo'. You's
picked up happiness an' laid yo' worries down, you
goin' to live easy, you goin' to live high. You
goin' to out-shine ev'ry woman in dis town.
An' remember, when Crown come
that's my bus'ness.                         Bess.

Bess :
I loves you
Porgy, don' let him
take me, don' let him
handle me, with his hot
han'. If you can
keep me, I wants to
stay here, wid you for-
ever. I got my
man.
