Someone to Watch Over Me lyrics

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,

Someone 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.

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...
