Those days are over
You donÂ’t have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You donÂ’t care if itÂ’s wrong or if itÂ’s right
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Woah
I loved you since IÂ’ve knew you
I wouldnÂ’t talk down to you
I just have to make you see how I feel
I wonÂ’t share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your makeup
It's a bad world outside, this is bad
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you donÂ’t have to put on the red light
Yeah
You gotta put on
Put on
Put on
Put on
Put on
Yeah Roxanne.
Roxanne
Roxanne
Roxanne
Roxanne
Yeah,
Roxanne,
Roxanne!
