Simone, Nina - Porgy Lyrics
This song talk about the same Porgy
That we've talked about for two years now
His name is Porgy only this one was written by eh
Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh
My baby understands now I got my Porgy
I'm through with bymays his way is may way forever more
Lord when i feel his arms around me
Knowing he can't go on without me
I wants to beg for a chance to camp at his door
Say he's not much for to look and see
He's lazy and no count as he can be
He's got the kind of a love for me
So I'm changing my style my way of living
I got my man got my Porgy now
Though you say he's not much for to look and see
He's lazy and no count as he can be
He's got the kind of a love for me
Oh oh baby I'm changing my style nad way of living
Glad I've stopped taking and started giving
I got my man I got my Porgy now

That still picture is freaking me out...
Sweat, like streams flowing over smooth stones in a riverbed, turn to tears. Hearts beat as one, eyes long, deep staring into the abyss behind two pairs of eyes, looking at the same life. Outstretched fingers needing to hold onto something/ anything, drawing you close to me, as if you ever left me at all. BeBop4000 February 2020

Hearing this song watching the movie Porgy and Bess, l didn't get what the song was really about, but l do now.
First time hearing it on you tube....just as good now as it was many years ago.
Amazing how earphones almost puts you in the room just feet away from the performer.
No worn or scratchy sound from years of play....God bless whoever founded You Tube....allows us old heads to go back in time...before Our time comes.
I first heard this on my green transistor radio when I was in 8th grade and it brought me to tears.
Sweet sweet and perfectly sad
I love you Nina!!! Uma das mais lindas músicas!!!🎼♥️♥️♥️
much better with Nina Simone from Billie holiday that is just me
The piano piece is so beautiful. Jazz was soooooo mellow in those days as l listen now. I was too young to appreciate this kind of singing. I was listening to good jazz as a little girl and at my age now I do appreciate it. Beautiful Ms. Simone

Fall 2005 & I had just gave birth to our 2nd son. My husband played this song and I cried like a baby. Nina voice is memorizing. I play this often imagining that we’re in Paris were my beret & I’m sitting on my rooftop patio with a glass of wine.
I remember listening to this when I was a every small child. My father was a Jazz lover and Nina Simone was one of the artists along with Nat King Cole, Ellington, Basie, Fitzgerald, Vaughn amd Coltrane there were several. This song was one of father's favorites to listen to.
Love conquers all
She was gorgeous when she was thin and young.
Take her Porgy love her hold her tell her everything you need to say before He comes to take her away and harm her with his Hot evil hands! But no dont let him take her she loves you Porgy damn it she loves you! and that is surely worth a fight!
this is where it all started for her - also on the album her rendition of the title song Little Girl Blue is a killer - I had to have been 15 years old when I bought this album -
Every performance is one to remember.
I am so glad she lives on forever
Wow - sitting here looking out an Oakland, CA window stunned beyond measure. I had to put this in heavy rotation to listen to lyrics and feel the feeling, as this is first time hearing this song and from Ms. Nina - Wish I had the LP (yes vinyl LOL) to go with my other LP's. Thank you BettyBlue
Hauntingly, beautiful.
One of my favorites by Ms. Simone. Hadn't heard it in quite some time. 9/11/2019. Thanks
my goodness
2019🌤
Maravillosa Nina Simone.¡¡
歌いたい歌😃😍
What a classic
Thank you Chris Martin 🙏
U. R. My. PORGY...
Ein großer Song, den ich über alles liebe!
I love this beautiful picture of Nina which is attached to one of my favorite songs she sang. Oh my...🍷🎶🍷
Una canción muy hermosa. 💞
☝🏾 🔊 🔥🔥🔥 💯 🖤
I won't die like that, put a few more bullets now.
What a beautiful voice and song. This song is other worldly.
I love you Nina ❤️
Why is love written as 'loves' ??
I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was a little girl, and I loved it. What a hauntingly beautiful song and awesome rendition by Ms. Simone.
I loves you Nina. I do. I do.
I love you Nina. Where did they take you? did they handle you? Why did they drive you mad? I can keep you, I wanna stay here with you forever, Iv'e got a friend.
nothing like it
So beautiful.....I like this 1958 version the best.
YES. Me too
BLEW MY MIND!
Brillante e inmortal
好きです。
Can someone explain to me what this song is about ?? Is it about rape ??
Is she the orig?
I did a tribute to Nina Simone adding a guitar solo and some vocals to a live performance of this song. Love her. She was the very, very best in her own unique way.
Poignant
I know she recorded many songs but IMO this is the best
Eunice Kathleen Waymon bka Nina Simone RIPP (rest in peace-n-power)
I knew about Nina but my dad was the one who reintroduced me to her. Magnanimous!
I'm sure I agree with that word...now let me google it to find out what it means!!!😂😂😂 nina simone has always been incredible
Love this!!

Essa música definitivamente é uma das minhas preferidas na vida, um primor. ♥
Who the FUCK are these 62 thumb downers? For the love of God, take a video of yourself singing the song to prove you can do it better.
grande fascino e atmosfera......una vera chicca per l'ascolto e per il cuore!
I guess I have been listening to Nina sing this since I was 16 or so, when I first discovered her, and I’m 74 now. Most of my life, and every. single. time. my eyes get really moist. Every single time.
I am only 57 and like you have been listening to it for as long as I can remember, it is one of those songs that brings you to quiet tears
I'm 30 and still felling the "fells". Good music is timeless.
It feel good knowing that Nina Simone dedicated this song to my father.
https://youtu.be/rGRBTedNNIo I LOVES YOU PORGY
Penetrating agony of one so talented as she bares her soul with the world!
Simply beautiful - first heard this song in the 8th grade - never forgot it!
I LOVE this song by her AND Whitney Houston! I was introduced to this classic, recently. I'm not happy I've never listened to Ms. Simone's music until now.
So soft and soothing, yet capable of breaking my heart.. I loves you Nina
excellent...great song...
Dios mio que voz
Sitting in a park bench , listening to this song, left crying alone.
I see what you did there
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 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 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 soon
He'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
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
toujours autant de frissons à l'écouter cette grande dame que j'ai eu le bonheur de voir en concert dans une petite salle à Tours...il y a plus de 30 ans
Gosh, this sends me every time, so intimate, so perfect in expression.
Una maravillosa versión..¡¡
The entire world.... Takes pause.... She goes into the memoir of her life.... And she finds that one true moment when she felt no excuses to be made. She finds herself completely taken aback....she tries to bridle her wild horses... Yet they still run... They drag her... Always to the beautiful call that is love. She let's herself go freely. He is hers. This moment in time was theirs.
Beautiful!, K G
Thank you TYLER PERRY
Beautiful
Acrimony, was an awesome movie
i love you nina
nice to be among others who love Nina
You mean loves
What a lovely voice RIP Nina Simone
Yes, the tears do well up:-))
Sheer vocal genius. It always blows my mind that two Jewish boys from New York could understand something so profound that happens between a man and woman of any culture.
Her first song as mentioned elsewhere on YT . So intimate in delivery, who could ever turn her request down. Very beautiful photograph too of this iconic woman.
💛💛💛💛 thank you Nina!
wonderfull 👍
Sublime!!!
Einer der besten Songs die ich je gehört habe! Gänsehaut...
Christina Aguilera Bring Me Here.
Why "loves" you porgy??
I love you
Hugh Gaenus I loves you more :)
I'd like to bring it back
best song ever
Oh my god......
Beautiful
