My heart is sad and lonely!

For you I sigh, for you dear only.

Why haven't you seen it?

I'm all for you, Body and Soul.

I spend my days in longing,

And wondering why it's me you're wronging.

I tell you, I mean it,

I'm all for you, Body and Soul!

I can't believe it,

Its hard to conceive it

That you'd turn away romance.

Are you pretending?

It looks like the ending!--

Unless, I can have

One more chance to prove dear..

My life a wreck you're making!

You know I'm yours

For just the taking

I'd gladly surrender

Myself to you, Body and Soul!

Someday he'll come along

The man I love

And he'll be big and strong

The man I love

And when he comes my way

I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile

I'll understand

And in a little while

He'll take my hand

And though it seems absurd

I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday

Maybe Monday, maybe not

Still I'm sure to meet him one day

Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home

Just meant for two

From which I'll never roam

Who would, would you?

And so, all else above,

I'm waiting for the man I love

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 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 with you forever

I like 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
