Somebody To Watch Over Me
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
Still we are often told seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to go seek a certain lad I had
In Mind
Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's a big affair
I can not forget
Only Man I ever think of with regret
I like to add his 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 he 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 be always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
follow my lead,
Oh, How I need
Someone one to watch over me
{Instrumental}
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh, How I need
Someone to watch over Me
Someone To Watch Over Me . . .
