It seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be making me glad
But why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you that I need
Maybe you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be blue
Could make me be true and even be glad
Just to be sad, thinking of you
Some others I've seen, oh, 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
Could be, should be making me glad
But why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you that I need
Maybe you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be blue
Could make me be true and even be glad
Just to be sad, thinking of you
Some others I've seen, oh, 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

I think this song is really about someone trying to figure out who gave him herpes, but he's having trouble because there are so many possible sources. I think "thrill" is code for "veneral disease".
