Charles, Ray - It Should've Been Me Lyrics
As I passed by
A real fine hotel
A chick walked out
She sure looked swell
I gave her the eye
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
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

or sung it, as the case may be
Dude, he didn't write the song! He only song it! Others recorded it well before he did
one of my favorite songs
These early Atlantic recording just make me shiver, his technique and flow was groundbreaking, few fit this mold in that time. Ray was doing things no other's were. Bless you Ahmet Ertegun.
7th at whaley,,,,,,,,,,,fock on, COMPTON !!!!
It really do be like that.
You gotta give Ray Charles some kudos - nearly the whole song is about things or people he saw. The dude is blind!
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, in many ways can see the world better then most of us
