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
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 yo' woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere
'Less you shares the fun
And I am tellin' you I'm not goin'
You're the best man I've ever known
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no, way
I'm livin' without you
I'm not livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you
You're gonna love me
You're gonna love me
And I am tellin' you, I'm not goin'
Even though the rough times are showin'
There's just no way
There's no way
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walkin' out'
Stop all the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am tellin' you, I'm not goin'
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever, ever go
No, no, no, no, way
No, no, no, no, way
I'm livin' without you
I'm livin' without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm stayin', I'm stayin'
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Oh yes oh yes you're, oh yes you're, you're gonna love me
Ooh, ooh, love me
Ooh, ooh, Love me, love me
Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of you love
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to
I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you
If I don't have you
