Someone to Watch over Me
Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still were 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
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Only woman I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add her 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 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
Someone who'll watch over me
Although she may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart she carries 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
