"You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)" is a popular song from 1913, with music by James V. Monaco and lyrics by Joseph McCarthy. It was introduced in the Broadway revue The Honeymoon Express (1913) and published by Broadway Music Corporation. The original recording was made by William J. Halley in May 1913 on a Victor 78 rpm single, issued as "Somebody's Coming to My House - You Made Me Love You". Later that year Al Jolson recorded the song for Columbia on June 4, 1913, and his version became an international hit. Grace La Rue recorded it in London in August 1913.
Jolson re-recorded the song in 1946 and sang it on the soundtrack of The Jolson Story (1946). In 1937 Roger Edens wrote additional lyrics that cast Judy Garland as a teenage fan of Clark Gable, and she recorded that version as a separate work, "(Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You". Other notable versions include those by Bing Crosby and the Merry Macs (1940), Harry James's trumpet instrumental (1941), a million-seller later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010, Harry Nilsson (1973), and the 1973 revival of the musical Irene.
