It Had to Be You
Unforgettable Love: Embracing Imperfections
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing a sense of inevitability, suggesting that a specific person was destined to be the one.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Having roamed without direction, finally discovering the person who holds special significance.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Attributing the ability of this person to inspire truthfulness and evoke feelings of sadness.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the paradox of finding joy in being sad when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack negative traits but emphasizing they are insufficient.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Describing traits like meanness, crossness, or bossiness that the mentioned person doesn't possess.
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the person in question.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Stating that no one else has provided the same level of excitement or joy.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Expressing enduring love despite acknowledging the person's faults.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating that the specific person was the only fitting choice, emphasizing their wonderful nature.
It had to be you.
Affirming the inevitability of the connection with the mentioned person.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the sentiment that the choice of this person was predetermined.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Recalling the search for someone who could evoke truthfulness and melancholy.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the person, capable of making the speaker feel blue.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the paradox of feeling glad while experiencing sadness at the thought of the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Reiterating the inadequacy of others who may lack negative traits but remain insufficient.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Listing undesirable traits absent in the person of interest.
But they wouldn't do.
Reaffirming the unique qualities that make the person irreplaceable.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Emphasizing the thrill and excitement provided by this person and no one else.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Expressing enduring love despite recognizing the person's imperfections.
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 the assertion that the person in question was the only fitting choice.
