Ruthie Henshall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
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 always be good
Someone 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

Line by Line Meaning
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often unpredictable and irrational
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
We are encouraged to actively search for love
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
I have someone specific in mind that I want to find
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
I have been searching for him but have not found him yet
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
He is the one person that I cannot stop thinking about
Only man I ever think of with regret
He is the only person that I regret not being with
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
I want him to become a part of my life and identity
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
I need someone to guide and protect me, like a shepherd does for his sheep

There is someone that I deeply desire to be with
I hope that he turns out to be
I hope that he is the person that I have been searching for
Someone who'll watch over me
I need someone to care for me and watch out for me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I feel lost and vulnerable, like a helpless lamb in the woods
I know I could always be good
I am willing to be obedient and loyal to the right person
Someone who'll watch over me
I need someone to be my protector and guardian
Although he may not be the man some
While he may not be considered attractive by some people
Girls think of as handsome
Girls might view him as less attractive
To my heart he carries the key
He has the power to unlock my heart and emotions
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
I am impatient to be with him and I want him to hurry up
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
I want him to follow my desires and take the lead in our relationship
Someone to watch over me
My greatest desire is to have someone who will protect and care for me
