Lyrics
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'll 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.
