Lyrics
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 wanna stay here with you forever
And I'll be glad

Someday I know hes' coming 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, ooh

And I am telling you
I'm not going
See, you're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
See, I'm staying, I am staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me, ohh, ooh
You're gonna love me, ohh, yes
Ohh

And I am telling you I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
See, there is just no way, there's no way

Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout
Well, you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Hold back the rivers
Push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will

I am telling you I'm not going
See, you're the best man I'll ever know
See, there's no way I cand ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you, au
I'm not living without you, not living without you
Hey, I don't wanna be free
That's why I'm staying, I'm staying
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you

You're gonna love me
Oh, yes, oh, yes, you are
Oh, yes, you are, hey, hey
You're gonna love me
Ooh, love me
Ooh, love me
Love me, love me

Share my love
Take me for what I am
I'll never change all my colors for you, mmh
I said, take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are, everything that you do, ooh

And 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
I can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

So, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
Ooh, ohh, yeah, yeah

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love, ooh
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, oh, one I can hold onto? Ohh

Ay, 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
But your love I'll remember forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
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
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me, no
Don't walk away from me, no
Do not walk away from me, no, hey
I, I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you
Ooh, you
I don't have you
Ooh, hey, hey, hey
If I don't have you
