โหลดเพลง mp3 It Should Have Been Me (& Dialog) [Rehearsal Session with Ahmet Ertegun, 1953] - 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

It should've been me

You know it should've been me

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

Don't you know it should've been me

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

It should've been me

You know it should've been me

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

Yeah I want to tell
You it should've been me

You know it should've been me

Eatin' ice cream and cake
