It Had to Be You
Django Reinhardt & Michel Warlop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me feel 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.
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you,
It had to be you.
It had to be you, it had to be you.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, 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.

I searched and searched until I found the one person who
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Who inspires me to be honest and also to feel sad and melancholy

And oddly, I find joy in being sad, as long as I'm thinking of you.
Some others I've seen might never be mean

Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Or try to assert their power or dominance
But they wouldn't do.
But they simply don't compare to you
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Because no one else has ever made me feel the excitement and passion you do

Despite your flaws and imperfections, I still love you deeply
It had to be you, wonderful you,
You are the one I simply cannot live without, my wonderful and perfect match.
It had to be you.
It was always going to be you.
