Lyrics: Ira Gershwin
Music: George Gershwin
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 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 shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longin' 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 my heart, she carries 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
