So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
The search for the person continues, but they haven't been found yet.
He's the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram

Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

I know I could always be good

Girls think of as handsome

To my heart he carries the key
