Written by george and ira gershwin
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
