Someone to Watch over Me

Writer(s): gershwin/gershwin

Theres a saying old says that love is blind

Still were often told, "seek and ye shall find"

So Im going to seek a certain lad Ive had in mind

Looking everywhere, havent found him yet

Hes the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regret

Id like to add his initial to my monogram

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

Theres a somebody Im longing to see

I hope that he turns out to be

Someone wholl watch over me

Im a little lamb whos lost in the wood

I know I could always be good

Someone wholl watch over me

Although he may not be the man some

Girls think of as handsome

To my heart he carries the key

Wont you tell him please to put on some speed

Follow my lead, oh, how I need

Someone to watch over me
