It Had to Be You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I get lost, messed up, and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function, or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who knows where
Just like that, she vanished and packed, and never even called
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between
Yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber wonder twin type of
Harmony?
[Chorus]
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong
[Verse 2]
Let's get wrecked on pop-tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through
The mall, let's fight crime with mangos and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry, I can't wait
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you spend a fortune on those late night pre-paid
Television scams?
In search of the perfect blender, steak knife, and non-stick
Frying pan?
I get lost, messed up, and bored when I'm alone too long
I can't sleep, function, or eat when I'm not with someone
Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who knows where
Just like that, she vanished and packed, and never even called
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel a certain sense of synergy between
Yourself and me?
A kind of macabre and somber wonder twin type of
Harmony?
[Chorus]
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Kicking and screaming and pretending we were wrong
[Verse 2]
Let's get wrecked on pop-tarts and sex and see the Taj Mahal
Let's save birds from Prince William Sound and skateboard through
The mall, let's fight crime with mangos and limes and join the PGA
Let's win big with every spin, but hurry, I can't wait
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you spend a fortune on those late night pre-paid
Television scams?
In search of the perfect blender, steak knife, and non-stick
Frying pan?
[Chorus]
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrong
[Bridge]
It seemed like a dream, a beautiful scream, that echoed forever
And made us not afraid to feel a thing
And after it ends, we'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are
[Verse 3]
All this time and everything's changed but I still feel the same
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share
[Chorus]
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrong
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Thinking we were completely wrong
[Bridge]
It seemed like a dream, a beautiful scream, that echoed forever
And made us not afraid to feel a thing
And after it ends, we'll try to be friends
They say that what doesn't kill us makes us who we are
[Verse 3]
All this time and everything's changed but I still feel the same
All good things eventually end and get washed down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
What a disaster it would be if you discovered that I cared
A little too much for friends, but not enough to share
[Chorus]
What if it was you?
You that I needed all along?
I felt it like a fool
Now that I'm sure that I was wrong
[Outro]
It had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I knew it was you
It had to be you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I knew it was you
