IT HAD TO BE YOU  
(Ronnie Carroll)


as rec by Ronnie Carroll w Wally Stott & his Orch  1965


Seems like dreams like I always ha
Could be, should be, makin' me glad;
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain!
I'm thinkin' maybe, baby, I'll go away;
Some day, some way you'll come and say,
"It's you I need!", and you'll be pleadin' 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 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 that thrill,
With all your faults, mmm I love you still.
It had to be you,
Wonderful you,
It had to be you!

For nobody else gave me that thrill,
With all your faults, dear, I love you still.
It had to be you,
Wonderful you,
It had to be you, (scat)
With all your faults I love you still.
It had to be you,
Wonderful you,
It had to be you!
