I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Having searched and roamed, finally discovering someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Attributing the ability to inspire truthfulness and evoke emotional responses to the mentioned person.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Describing a willingness to endure sadness and find joy in it, solely because of thoughts about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing the addressed person favorably to others who may lack certain qualities like being mean or assertive.
