Likely Jones' best-known composition, this song was published in 1924 and found high-profile recordings in films such as Annie Hall (by Diane Keaton) and When Harry Met Sally (by Harry Connick Jr.). Almost a century after its creation, its music and lyrics have dated remarkably little.
It Had to Be You Lyrics
(Verse)
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
(Chorus)
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
