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

Oh no!

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 you

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, I 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 you so 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

Don't have to put on the red light

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne.
