Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
He's loved you since he knew ya
He wouldn't talk down to ya
I had to tell you just how I feel
He won't share you with another boy
You know his mind is made up
So, put away that make-up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne
Roxanne, Roxanne
He's loved you since he knew ya
He wouldn't talk down to ya
I had to tell you just how I feel
He won't share you with another boy
You know his mind is made up
So, put away that make-up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Put on the red light
You don't have to put on that red light
Roxanne, please, don't put on that red light
