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 

I loved you since I knew you 
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 
Told you once I won't tell you again 
It's a bad way
