It Had to Be You
Carrie Underwood/Tony Bennett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue.
Or even be glad
Thinking of you.
Some others I've seen,
Might never 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.

Why do I do just as you say
Why must I just give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget
It must have been that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying I have to wait
I saw them all, just couldn't fall till we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true and could make me be 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 gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you
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.

Its seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, makin' me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe baby I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say,
"Its you that I need"
Maybe you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be blue, could make me be true
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, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Tony's phrasing is impeccable! What a musician he is! Carrie did a nice job, considering she's not a jazz singer. Lovely duet!
