Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a saying old, says that love is blind

Still we're often told "Seek and ye shall find"

So I'm goin' 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

[Verse 2]

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

[Verse 3]

There's a somebody I'm longin' 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

To one who'll watch over me

[Verse 4]

Although he may not be the man some

Girls think of as handsome

To my heart, he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Someone to watch over me
