Lyrics
[Public domain lyrics by Gus Kahn - edited by Greenwolf]
[Synth guitar opening with 80s synth backing]
[Verse 1]
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
(Yes it had to be you)
It must have been that something lovers call fate
Kept on saying I have to wait
I saw them all, just couldn't fall till we met
(Yes it had to be you)
[short synth solo]
[Verse 2]
Seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be makin' me glad
Why am I blue, it's up to you to explain
(Yes it had to be you)
I'm thinkin' maybe baby I'll go away
Someday, some way you'll come and say
It's you I need and you'll be pleading in vain
(Yes it had to be you)
[Chorus]
It had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful
crazy old you
It had to be you
(Yes it had to be you)
No one else but you
[Synth guitar solo]
[eighties spacey synths]
[melodic guitar solo]
[Bridge]
I wandered around and I
Finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, 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 (crazy old) you
[short synth solo]
[Drum fill]
[Chorus]
It had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful
crazy old you
It had to be you
(Yes it had to be you)
No one else but you
It had to be you
(Yes it had to be you)
It had to be you
(Yes it had to be you)
Wonderful
crazy old you
It had to be you
(Yes it had to be you)
No one else but you
[Ending]
