It Had to Be You
Estelle Reiner 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.

As the song suggests, despite wanderings and past experiences, there comes "somebody who could make me be true, could make me feel blue, and even be glad just to be sad thinking of you." The song portrays that love has its own timing, and sometimes we have to wait for the right person to come into our lives. The singer acknowledges that she has seen other people, but none of them had what it took to make her feel the way she does.
The lyrics also speak to the idea that the flaws of an individual in love do not matter as much as the connection they share. With all their faults, the singer still loves the person she is referring to in the song. The song's melody and lyrics showcase the beauty of love and its power to transform people's lives.

It had to be you, it had to be you.
You were the one I was meant to be with, there's no other possibility.
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.
After searching for a long time, I found the person who could bring out the best in me and also make me feel intense emotions, even if those emotions are sadness.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
I've seen other people who might seem nice, but they don't have the special qualities that make you my perfect match.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
With all your faults, I love you still,
No one else excites me like you do, even with your imperfections. I still love you just the same.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
It had to be you.
Once again, I'm emphasizing that you were the one I was meant to be with, and there's no one else who could even come close to you.

I live in Brooklyn, and I eat in this deli (Katz's) frequently since it is a few blocks away from my workplace (East Village); it's really that good there.
