(There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain gal I've had in mind)
(Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of with regret)
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 wood

I know I could always be good
To someone who'll watch over me
(I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Someone to watch over me)
Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I'll carry 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
