Deveria Ter Sido Eu

Ray Charles

It Should've Been Me

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

Deveria Ter Sido Eu

Enquanto eu passava
Por um hotel chique
Uma mina saiu
Ela estava demais
Eu dei uma olhada
E comecei a me exibir
Quando um Cadillac apareceu
E 'puf', ela sumiu

Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Hey hey hey, hey, dirigindo aquele, Cadillac

Um pouco mais tarde
Passei por um teatro
Vi outra mina
E ela tinha classe
Eu estava pronto
Pra anotar o nome dela no meu caderno
Quando o marido dela chegou e me deu um
Olhar bem feio

Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Pra ser o acompanhante dela

Quando cheguei na esquina
Vi um cara estiloso
Com um terno de 300 dólares
E um chapéu de 100 dólares
Ele estava parado na calçada
Perto de um DynaFlow
Quando uma voz dentro de mim disse,
"Vamos lá, pai, vamos embora."

Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Hey hey hey, hey, dirigindo aquele, DynaFlow

Comi um prato de chili
E me senti bem
Pelo menos até passar
Por aquele café chique
Vi um cara comendo
Um baita bife
Enquanto uma garçonete estava ao lado alimentando-o
Com sorvete e bolo

Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Deveria ter sido eu
Com aquela mina chique
Sabe, deveria ter sido eu
Comendo sorvete e bolo

Deveria ter sido eu
Aproveitando a vida
Deveria ter sido eu
Aproveitando a vida
Hey hey hey, hey, amando essas, minas doidas
