[Verse 1]
She's a Miss Beautiful Supreme
A girl that others wish that they could be
If there's seven wonders of the world
Then I know she's got to be number one

[Chorus]
She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto street
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes

[Verse 2]
She's the sunflower from nature's seed
A girl 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

[Chorus]
She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto street
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
I love ya, baby

[Interlude]
Saxophone right here!

She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto street
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
I love you, baby

[Interlude]
Saxophone one more time!

She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto streets
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes

[Outro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yi-yi-yeah
Pretty black beauty
Yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She's a girl that can't be beat
Born and raised on ghetto street
She's a devastating beauty
A pretty girl with ebony eyes
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes, ebony eyes
Ebony eyes

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.
