'It Had To Be You' from the Great American Songbook


"It Had to Be You" is a popular song written by Isham Jones, with lyrics by Gus Kahn. It was first published in 1924.

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 - 'til 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
