Benny Carter, Earl Hines - Someone to Watch over Me Lyrics

There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain girl lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl man I ever think of will regret

I'd like to add her him initials to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb

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

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although I he may not be the man some girls think of
As handsome to my heart
She he carries the key

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