Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh? Why don't I try to forget?
[Verse 2]
It must have been something lovers call fate
Kept me saying, "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall till we met
[Verse 3]
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad thinking of you
[Verse 4]
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you
[Verse 5]
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, it had to be you
It had to be you, whoa wonderful you
It had to be you
