It Had to Be You
Captivating Love's Melody: It Had to Be You
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing inevitability, suggesting a sense of destiny or fate in the choice of a specific person.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Having searched, the speaker found the one person who has a special significance.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Describing the influence of the person in making the speaker genuine and capable of experiencing both joy and sadness.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Expressing the paradoxical emotion of being happy in the experience of sadness when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack certain qualities, emphasizing the unique attributes of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting that others might not be as challenging or assertive but asserting that it doesn't matter.
But they wouldn't do.
Stating that others are not suitable for the speaker's needs.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing a unique thrill or excitement received exclusively from the chosen person.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Despite acknowledging flaws, the speaker declares continued love for the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability and wonderful nature of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Affirming that the selection of this particular person was destined or necessary.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the idea of inevitability in the choice of the person.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Reaffirming the discovery of someone special after wandering.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Reflecting on the person's impact on authenticity and emotional states.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Acknowledging the paradox of finding joy in sadness when thoughts are centered on the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who lack certain qualities, underscoring the uniqueness of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Emphasizing that others may lack assertiveness but asserting their unsuitability.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterating that others are not the right fit for the speaker's desires.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing the exclusive thrill received from the chosen person.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Despite recognizing imperfections, the speaker declares enduring love for the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the inevitability and wonderful nature of the chosen person.
