Olivia Newton John - Had to Be lyrics

rate me

(Tim Rice/John Farrar)

Had to be

No escape, no room for doubt

No way out

Seeing you, it was easy to decide

Cut and dried

Had to be

Now we know why we exist

Don't resist, don't even think at all

Simply fall

In love

This is what

Had to be

She was easy to seduce

Let her loose

In a world where the fake and shallow shine

She'll be fine

Had to be

She's a woman, nothing more

Falling for whatever comes along

She's so wrong

A fool

To herself

Had to be

Don't ever tell me

How to live my life, tell me who I should love

No don't ever tell me

What to say or do in the life I will share with you

Had to be (no one can tell me)

For we get what we deserve (how I should live my life)

Lose your nerve (no one can tell me)

And the fates hustle in and take control (or take control)

Of your soul

Had to be

Of your fool

Had to be

But the spark of hope remains

And sustains the echo of a smile

For a while (no one can tell me)

We're fools

To ourselves--have to be (no one has told me)

We're fools (it had to be)

To ourselves

Had to be
