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
   Put on the red light’ put on the red light
   Put on the red light’ put on the red light
   Put on the red light’ oh
  
   I loved you since I knew ya
   I wouldn’t talk down to ya
   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
  
   Roxanne’ you don’t have to put on the red light
   Roxanne’ you don’t have to put on the red light
   You don’t have to put on the red light
   Put on the red light’ put on the red light
