Had To Be HerTry to pay attention to what's going on here'Cause if there's solution it's completely unclear No it's not rocket science, oh, would that it were Love is a lesson - had to be her It all seems to happen like it's part of some plan And you're head's been examined over and over and over, and you still can't understand No, there's no rhyme or reason, oh the results are a blur Love is a lesion - and it had to be her Well, it had to be her, so it has to be me Can't figure it out - why bother to? It's not quite excitement, it's mostly just fear It's a jungle out there but there's desert in here It had to be... A full moon's always helpful, and when the month is June And in you're in Casablanca, drunk in Rick's saloon again And she walks in and she tells Sam, "Go on, Sam, you can play it for me" Well, it had to be her, who else could it be?

It's not quite excitement, it's mostly just fear It's a jungle out there but there's desert in here |
