It Had to Be You
Rollini Adrian & His Orchestra 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.
The lyrics to Rollini Adrian & His Orchestra's song It Had To Be You speak of a deep and genuine love for someone who has captured the heart of the singer.

The second line further confirms this, as they have been wandering around but have finally found that special somebody who has the ability to make them be true, feel blue, and even be glad just to be sad, all by simply thinking of them.
The third verse further amplifies the uniqueness of this person, as the singer acknowledges that there may be others who are not mean or bossy, but they wouldn't do because nobody else gives them the thrill that this person does. The singer concludes by saying that despite all of this person’s faults, they still love them. This song beautifully captures the essence of true love, which often involves accepting someone with all their imperfections and still feeling an intense affection for them.
