Seems like dreams like I always had
Could be, should be, making me glad
Why am I blue? It's up to you' to explain'
I'm thinking maybe'baby'I'll go away
Someday someway You'll come and say
It's you I need'and you'll be pleading' in vain'
♪
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wondered around
And finally found'somebody who
Could make me be true'. Could make me feel blue
And even be glad, just to be sad,
Thinking 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'gives me a thrill
With all your faults dear I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
(Humming melody)
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults dear, I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
