Ray Charles
It Should Have Been Me

[Verse 1]
As I passed by a real fine hotel
A chick walked out, she sure looked swell
I gave her the eye and started to carry on
When a Cadillac cruised up and "swish", she was gone

[Chorus]
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
Driving that Cadillac

[Verse 2]
A little later on, a theater I passed
I spotted another chick and did she have class
I was all set to write her name in my book
When her husband came up and gave me a real dirty look

[Chorus]
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
To have been her chaperone
[Verse 3]
When I got to the corner, I saw a sharp cat
With a 300 dollar suit on and a 100 dollar hat
He was standing on the sidewalk by a DynaFlow
When a voice within said, "C'mon daddy, let's go."

[Chorus]
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
Driving that DynaFlow

[Verse 4]
I ate a bowl of chili and I felt OK
At least until I passed this fine Cafe
I saw a guy eatin' a great big steak
While a waitress stood by feedin' him ice cream and cake

[Chorus]
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
You know, it should've been me
Eatin' ice, cream and cake
[Chorus]
It should've been me
Gettin' my natural kicks
It should've been me
Gettin' my natural kicks
It should've been me
Lovin' those crazy chicks
