It Had To Be You
Carrie Underwood feat. Tony Bennett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could be, should be making me glad
But 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 that I need
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 or 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

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
