It Had to Be You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]
It seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, someway, maybe you'll come and say
It's you that I need
And you'll be pleading in vain

[Verse 2: Tony Bennett & Carrie Underwood]
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found that somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinking of you

[Chorus: Carrie Underwood, Tony Bennett & Both]
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

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Tony Bennett, Carrie Underwood & Both]
Some others I've seen, some others I've seen
Might never be mean, might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
