It had to be you
I've wandered around
Finally found
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
Try to be boss
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
Some others i've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
'cause nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Had to be you
Had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Had to be you
Wonderful you, yeah
It Had To Be You - King Crimson
Released in 1982 on King Crimson's album *Discipline*, 'It Had To Be You' stands as a defining track of the band's progressive rock evolution during the early 1980s. The song features the distinctive interplay of Robert Fripp's guitar work and Greg Lake's melodic sensibilities, blending the group's complex time signatures with a more accessible, ballad-like structure. While the band is renowned for its avant-garde approach, this recording highlights a moment where they explored emotional depth and lyrical vulnerability, characteristic of their later discography. The track remains a staple of the band's catalog, often cited for its atmospheric quality and the seamless integration of vocals within the intricate instrumental arrangements that defined the King Crimson sound of the era.
