someone to watch over me

there's a sayin' old

says that love is blind

still we're often told

seek and ye shall find

so i'm going to seek a certain lad i've had in mind

looking everywhere

haven't found him yet

he's the big affair

i cannot forget

only man i ever think of with regret

i'd like to add his initials to my monogram

tell me where is the shepherd for this lost lamb

there's a somebody i'm longin' to see

i hope that he turns out to be

someone to watch over me

i'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood

i know i could always be good

someone who'll watch over me

and although he may not be the man some girls think of

as handsome to my heart

he carries the key

he carries the key

won't you tell him please

please to put on some speed

follow my lead

oh

how i need

someone to watch over me
