Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love 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'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 keep me i want to stay here
With you forever i've got my man
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
When he calls me but when he comes, I know
I'll 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 keep me i want to stay here
With you forever i've got my man

Line by Line Meaning

I love you
My feelings for you are very strong


Hums the April breeze
The wind carries my love for you softly, like a hum


"I love you,"
Even the environment around me is saying it for me


Echo the hills
The mountains surrounding us amplify my love for you


"I love you"
I can't stop thinking it


The golden dawn agrees
Even the morning sun acknowledges my love for you


As once more she sees
As the sun rises again


Daffodils
The flowers blooming signify the time for new love


It's spring again
The season for new beginnings has arrived


And birds on the wing again
The birds take flight, symbolizing the start of a new journey


Start to sing again
They express their joy through song


The old melody
The same tune is playing once more


I love you
My love for you is steadfast


That's the song of songs
Nothing expresses love better than this one thing


And it all belongs
This feeling is just as much yours as it is mine


To you and me
Our love is special and shared by just us two
