It Had to Be You
Capturing the Essence of Love: It Had to Be You
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing inevitability and uniqueness, attributing a specific choice or destiny.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
After searching, discovering a special person who stands out from others.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Describing the impact of the person, making the speaker genuine and emotionally vulnerable.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the paradox of finding joy in sadness when thinking about the special someone.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack negative traits but emphasizing their inadequacy.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Enumerating qualities that others might lack, making the chosen person unique.
But they wouldn't do.
Stating that others are insufficient in comparison to the chosen person.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing the exclusive thrill experienced with the special person.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Acknowledging imperfections but affirming enduring love despite them.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability of the chosen person, emphasizing their wonderful nature.
It had to be you.
Reaffirming that the special person is the only choice.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the sentiment of inevitability regarding the chosen person.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Reflecting on the journey of searching and finally finding someone extraordinary.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Highlighting the transformative influence of the person, affecting emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Expressing joy even in moments of sadness when thoughts are centered on the special someone.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who lack certain qualities, reinforcing the unique appeal of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Enumerating qualities that others may lack, further emphasizing their inadequacy.
But they wouldn't do.
Affirming that others are not suitable alternatives to the chosen person.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Reiterating the exclusive thrill experienced with the special person.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Acknowledging imperfections but affirming enduring love despite them, repeated from line 10.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the inevitability of the chosen person, emphasizing their wonderful nature, repeated from line 11.
It had to be you.
Reaffirming that the special person is the only choice, repeated from lines 1 and 13.
