BILLIE HOLIDAY - IT HAD TO BE YOU lyrics

Isham Jones / Gus Kahn

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
