It Had to Be You

March 2025


It Had to Be You

Composed by Isham Jones, lyrics by 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

 

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

gives me a thrill

 

Down in my heart,

 

dear,

 

I love you still.

 

It had to be you


Wonderful you

 

It had to be you.

 

Tho’ 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

gives me a thrill

 

Down in my heart,


dear,

 

I love you still.

 

It had to be you

 

Wonderful you

 

It had to be you.
