"Pooooor Professor Higgins...Night and day he slaves a-way, oh poooor Professor Higgins!"

In a word, pronouns decline in English (and most other languages, including Esperanto, which has about as many moving parts as an anvil). You wouldn't say to I, and you still wouldn't even with another pronoun in the works. The confusion seems to come from you remaining unchanged.
