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
