You ain't got nothing to be afraid of I ain't gonna try to keep no woman that don't wanna stay If you wants to go to crown, well, that's for you to say I want to stay here But I ain't worthy You are too decent to understand For when I see him, he hypnotize me When he takes hold of me with his hard hands Someday I know he's coming back To call me, he's gonna handle me And hold me so It's gonna be like dying, Porgy, deep inside me But when he comes I know I have to go But if there weren't no crown, Bess If there's was just only you and Porgy What then? 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 want to stay here with you forever And I'd be glad There, there, Bess You don't need to be afraid no more You picked up happiness And laid your worries down You gonna leave years, and you gonna leave high You gonna outshine every woman in this town And remember when crown comes That's my business Bess I loves you, Porgy (What you think I is, anyway?) Don't let him take me (To let another fella steal my woman) Don't let him handle me (If you wants to stay with Porgy, you gon' stay) With his hard hands (You got a home now, hunny) (You've got love) If you can keep me (So no more crying, can't you understand?) I wants to stay here (You gonna go about your business singing) With you forever ('Cause you've got Porgy) I've got my man! (You've got your man)
