Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light Walk the streets for money You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne You don't have to wear that dress tonight Those days are over You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne! Whoah!
Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne! Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne!
I loved you since I knew ya I wouldn't talk down to ya I have to tell you just how I feel I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up So put away your make-up I told you once, won't tell you again It's a bad way!
Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne! Oh, not again!
Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne! Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne!
I know your heart is broken And it's left your soul wide open I know your heart is broken, Roxanne Don't try to pick up the pieces Just leave them where they lie I'm gonna give you a new heart tonight Don't try to pick up the pieces Just leave them where they lie I'm gonna give you a new heart tonight
Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne! Don't you put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne!
