When forlorn Gertrude Lawrence, clutching a rag doll, sang this gentle plea in the 1926 musical Oh, Kay!, a Broadway critic confessed the Gershwins had "wrung the withers of even the most hard-hearted of those present." Composer George had originally written the melody in up tempo but soon realized that it sounded far better as a slow romantic ballad.

Words by Ira Gershwin. Music by George Gershwin.

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
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.
