Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expressing a sense of inevitability, suggesting a fated connection.
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Describing a search for someone special and finally finding that person.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Attributing the ability to inspire honesty and vulnerability to the mentioned person.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Acknowledging the complex emotions of happiness in sadness when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Comparing others who lack certain qualities, emphasizing the uniqueness of the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting that others may not possess the necessary qualities for a meaningful relationship.
But they wouldn't do.
Reinforcing the idea that the chosen person stands out from others.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing the thrill and excitement that the chosen person brings, emphasizing exclusivity.
With all your faults, I love you still,
Affirming love despite acknowledged imperfections in the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
Reiterating the inevitability of the connection, expressing admiration.
It had to be you.
Concluding with a reaffirmation that the person is the only one for the speaker.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Repeated assertion of the inevitability of the relationship.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Repeating the theme of searching and finding someone special.
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
Emphasizing the impact of the person on the speaker's authenticity and emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Acknowledging the mixed emotions of joy and sadness when thinking about the person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Reiterating that others lack the qualities possessed by the chosen person.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Highlighting that others may not be suitable for a meaningful relationship.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterating the exclusivity and uniqueness of the chosen person.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expressing the thrill and excitement that the chosen person brings, emphasizing exclusivity.
With all your faults, I love you still.
Affirming love despite acknowledged imperfections in the person.
It had to be you, wonderful you
Reiterating the inevitability of the connection, expressing admiration.
It had to be you.
Final repetition of the idea that the relationship was destined to be.
