Lyrics

It had to be you It had to be you I've wandered around Finally, found somebody who Could make me be true Whoa, whoa, whoa, could make me be blue And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you Some others I've seen Might never be mean Might never be cross Or try to be boss But they wouldn't do For nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still It had to be you Wonderful you It had to be you 'Cause nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still now And it had to be you It just had to be you It had to be you
