Porter from The Levee by Petey Hop

Baggage fills your heart, no room to spare,
Empty is the love you hope to share
Caught between your hopes and your despair,
Feel sorry for yourself and your affairs
looking for that man, who loves and understands like no one can,
who’ll get down upon his knees, the answer to your pleas and silent prayers
I might be your man, but I won’t be your porter that’s for sure

Someone broke your heart just havin’ fun
well I won’t apologize for things he’s done
I won’t carry on your crown of thorns
my suitcase in my hand I’m out the door
ask me why I’ll say, tell it to you straight I’m not to blame
Don’t take it all to heart, but you’ve got to do your part to change the game
I might be your boy, but I won’t be your Porter anymore, no more

live and love you learn, crash and die and burn but you get up
words written on your heart, each a brand new start to love again, love again

someone did you wrong and now your scared
afraid to bare your soul and show you care
letting go of love can lead to pain
but it also frees you up to love again
do not fear the change, ‘cause with comes the strength to carry on
what you stand to gain, freedom from your pain and happiness
I might be your toy, but I won’t be your porter anymore
I might be your toy, but I won’t be your porter anymore
no more, for sure
