It Should Have Been Me Lyrics - The Ray Charles Collection - Ray Charles

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. 

It should've been me 

With that real fine chick 

It should've been me 

With that real fine chick 

Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, Cadillac.

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. 

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. 

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." 

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 

Hey hey hey, hey, driving that, DynaFlow. 

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. 

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. 

It should've been me 

Gettin' my natural kicks 

It should've been me 

Gettin' my natural kicks 

Hey hey hey, hey, lovin' those, crazy chicks...
