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, suggesting a predestined connection with someone.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Searching for a special person and finally discovering them.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Attributing the ability to inspire truthfulness and melancholy emotions to the discovered person.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Being content with sadness as long as it is associated with thoughts of the beloved.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may not exhibit negative traits, but they lack the unique qualities of the beloved.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting the shortcomings of others in contrast to the special person.
But they wouldn't do.
Stating that others wouldn't suffice as a romantic partner.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Emphasizing the thrill and uniqueness of the connection with the beloved.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Expressing enduring love despite recognizing the faults of the beloved.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability and wonder of the connection with the specific person.
It had to be you.
Concluding that the chosen person is the only one for the speaker.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the sentiment of inevitability and exclusivity in the relationship.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Reflecting on the search and discovery of the unique individual.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Highlighting the power of the beloved to evoke authenticity and blue emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Expressing a willingness to experience sadness if it involves thoughts of the beloved.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who lack certain qualities and wouldn't be suitable as a romantic partner.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Pointing out the inadequacies of others in contrast to the beloved.
But they wouldn't do.
Asserting that others are not the right match for the speaker.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Emphasizing the thrill and excitement only experienced with the beloved.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Affirming enduring love despite recognizing imperfections in the beloved.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the wonder and inevitability of the connection with the special person.
It had to be you.
Concluding the expression of the unique and destined connection with the beloved.
