Boz Scaggs Lyrics

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
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
Drivin' that Cadillac

(Well alright, alright, but get to this...)

Now just the other day
A theater I passed
I saw a young lady
Oooh did she have class
And I was all set
To write her name in my book
When along came Ray Charles
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
Hey hey hey... hey
Bein' her chaperone

(Hey, you thinks that's something
...well dig this...)

When I got to the corner
I saw a sharp cat
With a 300 dollar suit
And a 100 dollar hat
He was standing on the sidewalk
By a Dinah Flo
When a voice from 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
Hey hey hey... hey
Drivin' that Dinah Flo

(But Georgie, you know you've
Got to feed a fever...)

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 n cake

It should've been me
With that real fine chick
It should've been me
With that real fine chick
Hey hey hey... hey
Eatin' ice cream n cake

(Some folks have all the luck)

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

(Hey, I know that's right)

It should have been me
With that real fine chick
It should have been me
With that real fine chick
Hey hey hey... hey
Drivin' that Cadillac

(C'mon Boz we gotta get us some)

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

(Can you dig what I'm sayin'
...one more time)

It should have been me
With that real fine chick
It should have been me
With that real fine chick
Hey hey hey... hey
Gettin' my natural kicks

(What do you say...
You best ask brother Ray)

It should have been me
It should have been me
Hey hey hey... hey

It should have been me
It should have been me
Hey hey hey... hey

(Alright Georgie...
Lets have Robben drive on outta here)
