There's a somebody I'm longin' 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 woods,
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.
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see,
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.
Someone to watch over me.
