Lyrics Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday

It Had to Be You

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
