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
Writer(s): Isham Jones, Gus Kahn
