Written by George and Ira Gershwin
There`s a saying old says that love is blind,
Still were often told, seek and you shall find
So I`m going to seek a certain girl 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
I`d like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherdess for this lost lamb?
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 one who`ll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I carry the key
Won`t you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead
Oh, how I need someone who`ll watch over me
There`s a somebody I`m longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone to 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 I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
To her heart I 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
