Couldn't be a fancy dancing girl and it couldn't be an "also-ran" 
Couldn't be my mother cryin' softly after hearing from my old man 
Couldn't be the guitar player wailin' even though I really liked the band 
Had to be you 
Had to be you 

Couldn't be the nights with the drinkin' crowd when it was too late to be too young 
Couldn't be the nights with the early flights when every mornin' meant time to run 
Old men just never talkin' about it, always sayin' I was much too young 
Had to be you 
Had to be you 

What you gonna do if you ever find out we're wrong... 
Just come crashin' down like thunder 
There's a danger sign that says we've had too much too long... 
You go rollin' like a landslide 
Lady luck will be cryin' 
And if I ain't dead you know I'm gonna be dyin... 

Couldn't be the days with the guitar craze when I never knew right from wrong 
Couldn't be my friend behind the bar who kept it open just a little too long 
Like a hundred other magic moments darlin', when your're there to find another song 
Had to be you 
Had to be you 

Couldn't be the real-life movie night when I stole one teenage kiss 
Couldn't even match stayin' out all night when the mornin' smelled just like this 
Couldn't be something that I'd forgotten, because I can reminisce 
Had to be you 
Had to be you
