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
