[Intro]
Na na na na na na na na na

[Verse 1]
Excuse me please your majesty
I chance this moment nervously
To share with you a fantasy
That I have lived inside of me

And it is so pretty
And it is so fine
It's the kind you'd love to last you
Until the end of time

We've talked of love, we've talked of life
And what would make the world so nice
We've walked the sand by lover's sea
I've held your body close to me

And it is so pretty (Pretty)
How I'd love to know
For if I had a chance to hold you
I'd never let you go

[Chorus]
You're my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that's sweet as candy
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on, yeah

[Interlude]
Na na na na na na na na na, oh wow

[Verse 2]
There's not a day that passes by
That I don't have you on my mind
If this ain't love I have inside
Then my heart's telling me a lie

Because it feels so special (Special)
And it feels so right
And if I could I know I'd love you
For the rest of my life

[Chorus]
You're my queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that's sweet as candy
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
I love the way you move your body
Queen in the black
You know you are nothing less than royalty
Queen in the black
Oh, I'll place you on a throne, girl
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
With your voice that's sweet as candy
Queen in the black
With your valentine smile, girl
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
Love the way you move your body
Queen in the black
You know you're nothing less than royalty
Queen in the black
You know I'll place you on a throne, girl
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
With your valentine smile, girl
Queen in the black
With your soft and sexy lips, babe
Queen in the black
Love the way you move your body
Queen in the black
You know you're nothing less than royalty
Queen in the black
You know I'll place you on a throne, girl
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on
Queen in the black
Miss Ebony, you really turn me on

[Outro]
Queen in the black
Queen in the black, Queen in the black
Queen in the black
Queen in the black, Queen in the black, Queen in the black now
Queen in the black
You know what I'm talking about, yeah, yeah
Queen in the black
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Queen in the black
With your time-stopping body
Queen in the black
With your eyes that hypnotize, girl
Queen in the black
Yeah

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
