I Wants to Stay Here |
| 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 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. |
| PORGY |
| If dere warn’t no Crown, Bess, if dere was only jus' 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 forever, |
| An' I’d be glad. |
| PORGY |
| 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! |
| 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. |
| PORGY |
| 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. |
