POLICE


Roxanne 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 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 makeup
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
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 put on the red light
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

@Shane, I have heard of a similar take on the song, but every time you hear "Roxanne," we all do a burpee. (jumping jacks while waiting). Tons of fun, the loser has to do extra burpees. (Losing constituting of the people who didn't get in a burpee right when he said it. Agreed, it gets interesting toward the end.)

I will tell you that I heard the song this morning but had ? On "it's a bad way", what they were singing. As I read about the drinking game here and remembering my teenage party days.. The song began playing in the showroom of the car dealership I work at. Freaky Deaky

There is a good drinking game that goes with this song. Everytime you hear Roxanne, take a drink. Everytime you hear 'put on the red light' stand up turn around and sit back down. Great near the end of the song.

I have several hoes that I pimp for, my nick name for them is roxxanne. Pimpin ain't easy but it sure is fun. Thanks to Sting for inspiring me. Great song too.

Sting, I have loved this song since you first wrote & sang it. Many times, with my name being Roxanne, people begin singing this song upon introduction to me. It has truly been a huge part of my life.
