It Had to Be You
Love's Inevitable Discovery
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing a sense of inevitability, acknowledging that the person being referred to was the only choice.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
After searching, finally discovering someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Recognizing that this person has the ability to bring out honesty and vulnerability.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Feeling a range of emotions, from sadness to happiness, all connected to thoughts of this person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who might lack certain qualities, emphasizing the uniqueness of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting that others may not have negative traits but still not measuring up to the chosen person.
But they wouldn't do.
Stating that others wouldn't suffice.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing that no one else has provided the same excitement or joy.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Despite imperfections, there is enduring love.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating that the chosen person is the only one who fits the description of 'wonderful.'
It had to be you.
Affirming that the selection of this person was destined.
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 finding someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Acknowledging the power of this person to evoke true feelings and even sadness.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Expressing a willingness to embrace sadness if it means thinking about this person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack certain qualities, emphasizing the uniqueness of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Emphasizing that others may lack negative traits but still fall short of the chosen person.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterating that others wouldn't suffice.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Affirming that no one else has provided the same thrill or excitement.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Despite imperfections, there is enduring love.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating that the chosen person is the only one who fits the description of 'wonderful.'
It had to be you.
