It Had to Be You
Capturing Love's Essence: It Had to Be You by Benny Goodman
Lyrics
It had to be you
Expressing inevitability, suggesting a fated connection or choice.
It had to be you
Reinforcing the idea of destiny or a necessary occurrence.
I wandered around
Describing a period of aimless wandering or searching.
And finally found
After the search, discovering someone suitable or fitting.
Somebody who
Identifying a person who has a special quality or significance.
Could make me be true
Acknowledging the ability of the person to inspire honesty or authenticity.
Could make me be blue.
Recognizing the emotional impact, including the possibility of feeling down (blue).
Or even be glad
Being open to various emotional states, including happiness or sadness.
Just to be sad
Willingness to experience sadness, suggesting a deep emotional connection.
Thinking of you.
Reflecting on the person and the impact on one's emotions.
Some others I've seen,
Comparing with others who might lack meaningful significance.
Might never mean.
Highlighting the potential lack of depth or importance in other connections.
Might never be cross,
Emphasizing that others may not be challenging or confrontational.
Or try to be boss,
Rejecting those who attempt to control or dominate.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterating the uniqueness required in a meaningful relationship.
For nobody else gave me a thrill,
Expressing the unparalleled excitement or joy experienced with this person.
With all your faults I love you still.
Acknowledging and accepting the flaws of the person, yet maintaining love.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reaffirming the inevitability and wonder of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Repeating the sentiment that the person is the only one who fits the bill.
