It Had to Be You
Capturing Love's Essence: It Had to Be You by The Jeggpap Jazzband
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing inevitability, suggesting a fated connection.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
After searching, finding a special person.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Acknowledging the influence of the person to be genuine and emotional.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Feeling a mix of happiness and sadness when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack certain qualities.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting unique and essential characteristics in the chosen person.
But they wouldn't do.
Rejecting other potential choices.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Emphasizing the thrill received from the chosen person.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Expressing enduring love despite imperfections.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the uniqueness and wonder of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Affirming that the chosen person is the one.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the idea of inevitability and certainty.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Reflecting on the journey to find someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Acknowledging the impact of the person on emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Expressing a willingness to endure sadness for thoughts of the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who may lack essential qualities.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the chosen person.
But they wouldn't do.
Rejecting other potential choices.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Stating that no one else provides the same excitement.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Expressing enduring love despite the person's faults.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the uniqueness and wonder of the chosen person.
It had to be you.
Concluding with certainty that the chosen person is the right one.
