Someone to Watch Over Me
Ira Gershwin, 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 lad I've had
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
I'd like to add his initials 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'll 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
Someone to watch over me
