Song lyrics
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

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)

I loved you since I knew ya, I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have you to tell 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

Roxanne (You don't have to 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) Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (You don't have to put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (You don't have to 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)

Despite the implication, this is a beautiful song. I especially like the beginning guitar solo.

did u know that sting made Roxanne up, when he was touring in France, he was stayin at a hotel situated near some dodgy back alleyway and thats where he got the inspiration to write this song, somethin about the romancing of a hooker and its irony was the idea behind this song.
