There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he'll turn out to be
Someone to watch over me

Like a little lamb that's lost in the woods
I know I could always be good
To one who watched over me

Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
(To my heart, she'll carry the key)

Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me

Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome
But to my heart, he'll carry the key

Won't you tell him, please, to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me, little old me
I need someone to watch over me
