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 streets for money

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

[PreChorus]

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

[Chorus]

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Whoa

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

I know my mind is made up

So put away your makeup

Told you once, I won't tell you again

It's a bad way

[PreChorus]

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

[Chorus]

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

Roxanne

Put on the red light

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

Roxanne

Put on the red light

Roxanne

Put on the red light
