There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods
I know I could always be good
To one who will watch over me

Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
It's my heart she carries the key

Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead oh how I need
Someone to watch over me

There's a saying old says love is blind
Still we're often told: Seek and ye shall find
So I'm gonna seek a certain one I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I can not forget
Only one I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add my initial to her monogram
Tell me where's the Shepard for this lost lamb

Won't you tell her to put on some speed
Follow my lead oh how I need
Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me
