Lyrics

(Verse)

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?

It must have been that something lovers call fate

Kept on saying I had to wait

I saw them all

Just couldn't fall

Till we met

(Chorus)

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

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
