(George Gershwin - Ira 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 will regret


I'd like to add her initial to my monogram

Tell me where's the shepherd 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 a wood

I know I could always be good

To one who'll watch over me


Although she may not the girl some men 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

Someone to watch over me
