I Wants to Stay Here Lyrics

I Wants to Stay Here - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Written by:DuBose Heyward/George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin

I wants to stay here

But I ain't worthy

 

You are 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 have to go

 

When he calls I have to go

I love 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

 

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 comes

You love porgy

 

Oh I loves you so my porgy

 

I will always be or my

 

I wants to stay wid porgy

 

I'm goin' stay I got a home now

An' you got love

 

So no mo' cryin' can't you understan'

 

You goin' to go about yo' business singin' 'cause

I got porgy I got a man

 

I love you porgy don't let him take me

 

Don't let him handle me an' drive me mad

 

If you can keep me I want to stay here

 

 

With you forever and I'd be glad
