It's Always You
Hilary Kole feat. Freddy Cole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It had to be you, it had to be you.
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.

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.

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.

It had to be you, it had to be you.
There was no other option, it had to be you, it had to be you.

I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
I searched aimlessly and at last discovered the person who

Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Who could inspire me to be genuine, who could make me feel melancholy,

And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
And I would still find joy in the sadness that comes from thinking about you.

Some others I've seen might never be mean
I have observed others who might never be cruel

Might never be cross or try to be boss,
They may never get angry or try to dominate,

But they wouldn't do.
But they wouldn't suffice.

For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Because no one else could excite me.

With all your faults, I love you still,
Despite all your imperfections, I still love you.

It had to be you, wonderful you,
There was no one else, only you, wonderful you.

It had to be you.
There was no other choice, it had to be you.
