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 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 her heart I carry the key Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, follow my lead Oh, how I need someone who'll watch over me There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that she 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 I may not be the man some girls think of as handsome To her heart I carry 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
