It had to be you  (lyrics)

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around

Finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true

Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you

Some others I've seen
Might never been mean

Might never be crossed

Try to be bossed

They wouldn't do

Nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
Had to be you

It had to be you
Nobody else would do
Wandered around

Finally found
Someone who
Could make me be true

Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never been mean
Might never be crossed

Try to be bossed

They wouldn't do

Nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you to hold me
My heart told me
I had to be you
