It Had to Be You
Tony Bennett & Carrie Underwood 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
The song "It Had to Be You" by Tony Bennett and Carrie Underwood is an emotional ballad that expresses the uniqueness of love.

The singer speaks about the search for the right person and how it was a difficult and long journey until they found someone who made them feel happy, sad, and everything in between.
The lyrics also compare the person they found with others they had seen before.

The song speaks about the faults and imperfections the person they love might have, but despite all of that, they still love them deeply. The song is a beautiful expression of love that talks about how loving someone is not about being perfect but accepting all the flaws and loving them anyway.

It had to be you
There was no one else who could compare or match you
It had to be you
There was no one else who was meant to be with me but you
I wandered around
I searched and looked for someone for a long time
And finally found
Until I found you
Somebody who
Someone who is capable of
Could make me be true
Inspires me to be honest and faithful
Could make me be blue
Can make me feel sad
Or even be glad
Or even make me feel happy
Just to be sad
Even if I feel sad
Thinking of you
As long as you are in my thoughts
Some others I've seen
I've met other people before
Might never mean
Who might not have the same significance
Might never be cross
Who could be never angry
Or try to be boss
Or show any desire to try control me
But they wouldn't do
But they could never provide what I need
For nobody else gave me a thrill
No one else has made me feel the way you do
With all your faults I love you still
I still love you despite your flaws
It had to be you, wonderful you
You were the only one who could make me feel this way
It had to be you.
You and only you.

MAGNÍFICO TEMA!!! TENÍAS QUE SER TÚ interpretado IMPECABLEMENTE

MGracias x compartir.
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
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
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.

Its seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, makin' me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe baby I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say,
"Its you that I need"
Maybe you'll be pleading in vain
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
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
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

Let’s sing a song
Its seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, makin' me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe baby I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say,
"Its you that I need"
Maybe you'll be pleading in vain
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
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
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

Tony's phrasing is impeccable! What a musician he is! Carrie did a nice job, considering she's not a jazz singer. Lovely duet!
