It's Gonna Be You
Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 feel blue,
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' 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.

It had to be you, it had to be you.
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue,
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' 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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra's song "It's Gonna Be You" convey a sense of inevitability and destiny in finding true love. The singer sings about how they searched and searched for someone who could make them feel complete, and finally found that person in the one they love. They acknowledge that there may be other people with admirable qualities, but they wouldn't do because nobody else gives them the thrill and love they feel for their partner, faults and all.

The repetition of the phrase "it had to be you" reinforces the idea that this love was meant to be and couldn't have happened with anyone else. The use of contrasting emotions such as feeling blue and being glad to be sad shows the complexity of their feelings and how they are willing to experience both the ups and downs of love.

Overall, the song celebrates the power of true love and how it can make everything else fall into place.

When someone gets what I've got in my heart
It's gonna be you, it's gonna be you
When someone gets all the love that I've got
It's gonna be you, it's gonna be you

Oh honey isn't it funny, isn't it funny, what love can do?
Out of a million, out of a billion, I've chosen you
When someone gets what I've got in my heart
It's gonna be you, it's gonna be you

This band is great. This guy and his gal Harriet very always terrific together. His band too has that distinct Lombardo sound. That’s cool too, no problem there. Miss bands like this. Thank Goodness I can find it all online. Thanks too to YouTube.
