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
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he 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 he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he'll carry the key
Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed
And follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
