Someone To Watch Over Me

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 lad
I've had in mind

Looking everywhere
Haven't found him yet
He's the big affair
I cannot forget
Only man I ever think
Of with regret

I'd like
To add his inital
To my monogram
Tell me
Where is the shepherd
For this lost lamb?

There's a somebody
I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns
Out to be
Someone to 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 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 to watch over me

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

Overall Meaning

Death in Vegas reimagined this timeless tune, putting a new spin on the original. The lyrics speak of a search for love and longing for someone to look after and protect the singer. The opening lines describe how love can be blind, yet one is encouraged to seek love to find it. The song goes on to describe the search for a certain lad, who the singer cannot forget. The lyrics also assert that the man does not have to be conventionally attractive but is someone who has the key to the singer's heart.


The singer is portrayed as a little lamb lost in the woods, with a sense of vulnerability and a need for protection, and she seeks someone to watch over her. She also longs to add the man's initial to her monogram which might suggest a desire for commitment and partnership. The song ends on a hopeful note, asking the listener to tell the man in question to hurry up and follow her lead, as she needs someone to watch over her. Overall, the song embodies the universal yearning for love and protection, with a hint of vulnerability.
