IT HAD TO BE YOU
WRITERS ISHAM JONES, GUS KAHN

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 be blue
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
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
