Ray Charles
It Should've Been Me
[Verse 1]
As I passed by a real fine hotel
A chick walked out, she sure looked square
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[x2]
Hey hey hey hey, 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[x2]
It should've been me to have been her chaperon

[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,"Come on daddy, let's go"

[Chorus]
It should've been me with that real fine chick[x2]
Hey hey hey hey, driving that Dynaflow

[Verse 4]
I ate a bowl of chili and I felt okay
At least until I passed this fine cafe
I saw a guy eating a great big steak
While a waitress stood by feeding him ice cream and cake

[Chorus]
It should've been me with that real fine chick[x2]
You know, it should've been me eating ice cream and cake

[Chorus]
It should've been me getting my natural kicks[x2]
Hey hey hey hey, loving those crazy chicks
