Ebony Eyes
Richie Stephens · Other Songs - Richie Stephens
A girl that others wish that they could be
If there's seven wonders of the world
Then I know she's gotta be number one
She's a girl that cant be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
She's the sunflower of natures seeds
A girls that some men only find in their dreams
When she smiles it seems the stars all know
Cause one by one they start to light up the sky
She's a girl that cant be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
A girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
A devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
When she starts talking soft and sweet
Like birds of spring her words all seem to sing
With a rhythm that is made of love
And the happiness that she only brings
She's a girl that cant be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
A girl that cant be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
A devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
Pretty black beauty
She's a girl that cant be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
Ebony eyes
