It Should`ve Been Me — текст песни (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
