Lyrics
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
The speaker is on a quest to find a specific person who has been on their mind.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching everywhere, the speaker hasn't found the person yet.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regret
The only man the speaker regrets and thinks about is this specific person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
The speaker wishes to add the person's initial to their monogram, suggesting a desire for a close connection.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
The speaker is metaphorically a lost lamb and is asking where the shepherd (the sought person) is.
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
Reiteration of the desire for someone to watch over and protect the speaker.
Although he may not be the man some
The sought person may not conform to conventional standards of handsomeness.
Girls think of as handsome
Contrary to societal norms, the person holds the key to the speaker's heart.
To my heart he carries the key
A plea to the listener to ask the person to hurry and respond to the speaker's feelings.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
The speaker wants the person to follow their lead in pursuing a relationship.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
An expression of how much the speaker needs someone to watch over them.
Someone to watch over me
Reiteration of the deep desire for someone to protect and care for the speaker.
