It Had to Be You
Captivating Love's Symphony: It Had to Be You
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing inevitability, suggesting a unique connection.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Describing a search for someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Acknowledging the power of the person to inspire honesty and melancholy.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the paradox of finding joy in sadness when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack certain qualities.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Listing qualities others might not possess.
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the uniqueness required in a partner.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing a sense of thrill from the person in question.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Accepting and loving despite the person's imperfections.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability and wonder of the connection.
It had to be you.
Concluding the sentiment, reinforcing the unique bond.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the assertion of inevitability.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Echoing the search for a special person.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Affirming the influence of the person on emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the contradictory joy in sadness when thinking of the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack certain qualities (repeated).
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Reiterating qualities others might not possess (repeated).
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the uniqueness required in a partner (repeated).
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing the thrill only experienced with the person.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Affirming love despite the person's faults.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the wonder and inevitability of the connection.
It had to be you.
Concluding the sentiment, reinforcing the unique bond (repeated).
