I Wants to Stay Here

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 hold of me with his hot hand
Someday I know he's coming back to call me
He's goin' to handle me an' hold me so
It's goin' to be like dyin', Porgy
Deep inside me -
But when he calls, I know I have to go

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

I loves you, Porgy don' let him take me
Don' let him handle me an' drive me mad
If you kin keep mе
I wants to stay here wid you forevеr
An' I'd be glad

There, there, Bess
You don' need to be afraid no mo'
You's picked up happiness and
Laid yo' worries down
You goin' to live easy
You goin' to live high
You goin' to outshine every woman in dis town
An' remember, when Crown come
That's my business, bess!

I loves you, Porgy don' let him take me
Don' let him handle me with his hot han'
If you kin keep me
I wants to stay here wid you forever
I got my man

What you think I is, anyway
To let dat dirty houn' dog steal my woman?
If you wants to stay wid Porgy
You goin' stay
You got a home now, Honey, an' you got love
So no mo' cryin', can't you understan'?
You goin' to go about yo' business
Singin' 'cause you got Porgy, you got a man
