I Wants to Stay Here lyrics

I wanna stay here
But I ain?t worthy
You are too decent to understand
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 gonna handle me and hold me so
It?s going to be like dying, Porgy deep inside me
But when he calls, I know I have to go
I love you Porgy
Don?t let him take me
Don?t let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can?t keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
And I?ll be glad
I love you Porgy
Don?t let him take me
Don?t let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can?t keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
I got my man
