Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 street for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
[Chorus]
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
[Verse 2]
I love you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
You know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up
Told you once, I won't tell you again, "It's a bad way"
[Chorus]
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
[Verse 3]
You know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up
Told you once, I won't tell you again, "It's a bad way"
[Chorus]
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
[Outro]
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
Roxanne
