It Had to Be You
Capturing the Irresistible Essence of Love: It Had to Be You
Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing a sense of inevitability or fate that led to a specific person being the one.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
After searching, the singer found someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Describing the influence of the person in making the singer genuine and occasionally melancholic.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Acknowledging that the mere thought of the person brings joy even in moments of sadness.
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 that others might not match up to the unique qualities of the mentioned person.
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the person being referred to.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing a unique thrill and attraction only experienced with the mentioned person.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Despite imperfections, the singer still loves the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability and wonder of the connection with the specific person.
It had to be you.
Affirming that the choice of this person was destined.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeating the sense of inevitability regarding the chosen person.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Recalling the journey of searching and finding someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Highlighting the transformative impact of the person, inducing both truthfulness and occasional sadness.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Acknowledging the joy found in 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,
Reiterating that others might not match up to the unique qualities of the mentioned person.
But they wouldn't do.
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the person being referred to.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing a unique thrill and attraction only experienced with the mentioned person.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Despite imperfections, the singer still loves the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you
