Lyrics

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find"
So I'm looking for a certain boy I have 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
And yet
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he
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'd watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he'll carry the key
Won't you tell him all my love I will save?
I'll be his slave
Oh, how I crave
Someone to watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he'll carry the key
And this world would be like heaven if he'd
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
