There`s a saying 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 initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There`s a somebody I`m longing to see
I hope that he 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 one who`ll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won`t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
