It Had to Be You
Captivating Love's Journey: It Had to Be You
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing inevitability and specificity of a particular person being the one.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Describing the journey of searching until finding the right person.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Attributing the ability of the person to inspire truthfulness and evoke emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Conveying a paradoxical joy in feeling sad when thinking about the special person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack negative traits but are inadequate in some way.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting the importance of specific qualities that others may lack.
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the mentioned person.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing a singular thrill that the mentioned person provides.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Affirming love despite acknowledging the person's imperfections.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability and wonder of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Affirming the conclusion that the person in question is the one.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the assertion of the necessity of the particular person.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Revisiting the journey of finding the right person.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Reemphasizing the ability of the person to evoke truthfulness and emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Highlighting the paradoxical joy in sadness when thinking of the special person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who lack specific qualities, reinforcing their inadequacy.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Emphasizing the importance of unique qualities possessed by the mentioned person.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterating that others, despite their qualities, are not suitable.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Stressing the exclusive thrill derived only from the mentioned person.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Expressing enduring love despite acknowledging the person's faults.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reaffirming the wonder and inevitability of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Concluding the assertion that the person is the one.
