Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who they could be
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew
Who they could be worries me

For every girl that passes by, I shout, "Hey, maybe 
You were meant to be my lovin' baby!"
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it's...

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, 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 someone like you

Maybe, baby, somebody like you!

Everyone who passes me by, I shout, "Hey, maybe 
You were meant to be my ever-lovin' baby!"
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 somebody, somebody,
Somebody, somebody,
Somebody loves me
It had to be you
Wonderful you!

(George Gershwin, Harry Connick Jr.)
