Why do I do just as you say?

"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 on saying I had to wait
I saw them all, just couldn't fall till 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
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.
