Lyrics

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found, that 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 bossy
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
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
Finally, I found that 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
