NINA SIMONE

- I Loves You Porgy 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

Yes I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man

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
I've got my man

Someday I know he's coming to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
So, it' going to be like dying, Porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes I know I'll have to go

I loves you, Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me
and drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

What is the meaning behind I Loves You Porgy lyrics?


When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the tune 'I Loves You Porgy' sung by Nina Simone revels emotional and spiritual bond with Porgy but at the same time, accepting the fact that a third party might take over eventually. The song reveals the yearning to be around Porgy even with the realization of parting but the person who is claiming them will come during the time of separation, thus symbolizing love, faithfulness, and inevitable fate. The whole story in the song goes around love, heartbreak, joy, angst, and despair, and Nina's Porgy's moral gets to the point of love and faith as a source of fear, or rather FOMO! The lyrics indeed assert love and longing, though rather vociferously and with some emotional charge. Despite mentioning being mishandled and the likelihood of being somewhat upset, the lyrics still do not include profanity, violence, or adult topics that would call for higher restriction levels. Nevertheless, the emotional atmosphere could be a reason why small kids would need a soft adult accompanying them.
