There's a saying old says that love is blind

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
The person being sought is a significant and unforgettable part of the singer's life.
Only man I ever think of with regret

I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Desires a connection with the person, even symbolically through a monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

I know I could always be good

Although he may not be the man some

Girls think of as handsome

To my heart he carries the key
Attributes great importance to the person being sought, suggesting a deep emotional connection.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed

Follow my lead, oh, how I need
