Lyrics:

Your eyes, are dark as the night
Your skin is tender and golden brown
Long bronze fingers hold me oh, so tight
So rich in beauty, you deserve what's right

That's why you are
My ebony princess
(Yes you are)
My ebony princess
(Yes you are)
My ebony princess
(Yes you are)

Your kiss, has made me a king
Your heart is one of the tools I own, oh yeah
For you girl, I would do anything
(Just as long as)you say you're mine

That's because your
My ebony princess
(Yes you are)
My ebony princess
(Yes you are)

[Spoken]
I heard a lot of people say
That beauty's in the eye of the beholder
Well my black princess
I'm beholding it in you

And when times grow old
And I am no longer in the prime of my life
I want you to know
That you'll always be

{sung}
My ebony princess
(yes you are)
My ebony princess
(yes you are)
Ooh aaah oooooooo
Don't you know it baby
You're my sunshine baby

(My ebony princess
Yes you are)
(My ebony princess
Yes you are)

BROTHERS! Our Sisters need us to come down from Rap Mountain and get back to this.....CAN we START SHOWING THE SISTERS REAL LOVE and comb our hair, and pull up our pants and teach our kids how to love.....

Lets set the record straight. There are 2 writers on Ebony Princess, Paul Kyser , Lana Rush. Gary Byrd was a DJ during the time My Ebony Princess was out. He was upset cause he used the words Ebony Prince and Ebony Princesses on his show. He wouldn't play my song until I saw him and discuss this. I acknowledged him saying Ebony Princess gave credit but he had nothing to do with the writing of my song. remember I not only wrote the song I arranged and Produced the song. Paul Kyser

personal appearance is important....it's not an insult to teach our children to pull up their pants or comb their hair and show respect, or is it? how a man is groomed or dresses speaks volumes about him....

@NardoFree2 How you dress is not what makes you a man. Who you are and what you stand for decides that. Nothing else!!!

[vivcoso]

@NardoFree2 I'm in total agreement with you!!! Today, they're just "LOST". Now I know why they called them "Generation X". It's because they haven't got a clue. :-D
