Lyrics:

(tim rice/john farrar)Had to beNo escape, no room for doubtNo way outSeeing you, it was easy to decideCut and driedHad to beNow we know why we existDon’t resist, don’t even think at allSimply fallIn loveThis is whatHad to beShe was easy to seduceLet her looseIn a world where the fake and shallow shineShe’ll be fineHad to beShe’s a woman, nothing moreFalling for whatever comes alongShe’s so wrongA foolTo herselfHad to beDon’t ever tell meHow to live my life, tell me who I should loveNo don’t ever tell meWhat to say or do in the life I will share with youHad 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 soulHad to beOf your foolHad to beBut the spark of hope remainsAnd sustains the echo of a smileFor a while (no one can tell me)We’re foolsTo ourselves--have to be (no one has told me)We’re fools (it had to be)To ourselvesHad to be
