Why does my Galaxy S4 lock screen button shut my phone off w/ a single press?

AC Question

Why will my GalaxyS4 lock screen button shut my phone off w/ a single press

Operation when the phone is on:
My phone will go the "power off/restart/airplane mode" option with a simple press of the power button unlike the normal temporty hold usually required. And sometimes it just flat out turns off the phone.

Operation when the phone is off:
With the phone off(and now currently stuck there) I can only get the phone to respond to the power button/battery replacement for about 3-4 seconds before it decides to shut down once again. Also to note: the battery wont pick up charge either, it does the same thing, responds for about 3-4 seconds, shows the battery symbol on the screen then shuts down.

I hope my description is accurate enough to make a helpful response.
Thank you for your time to whomever responds.

You have a sticky power button. It's common on the S4
