[Verse 1]
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
It's my heart she carries the key

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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I can not forget
Only one I ever think of with regret
[Bridge]
I'd like to add my initial to her monogram
Tell me where's the Shepard for this lost lamb

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

Someone to watch over me
