ROXANNE
Sting (Www.Safalbum.Biz) Lyrics

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
You don't have to engage in prostitution

Those days are over
The time for selling your body to make a living has passed

You don't have to sell your body to the night
You don't need to engage in prostitution to get by

Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
You don't have to dress up to attract clients

Walk the streets for money
You don't need to walk the streets to make a living

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
You are willing to do whatever it takes to survive, regardless of whether it's morally right or wrong

Put on the red light, put on the red light
This line repeats the message that Roxanne doesn't have to engage in prostitution

I loved you since I knew ya
The artist has loved Roxanne for a long time

I wouldn't talk down to ya
The artist respects Roxanne and wouldn't belittle her

I have to tell you just how I feel
The artist needs to express his feelings to Roxanne

I won't share you with another boy
The singer wants Roxanne to be his alone and not share herself with other men

I know my mind is made up
The artist is certain of his feelings and intentions

So put away your make up
The singer is asking Roxanne to stop dressing up to attract clients

Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way
The singer has already told Roxanne that engaging in prostitution is not a good path and won't repeat himself

You don't have to put on the red light
The singer repeats the message that Roxanne doesn't have to engage in prostitution

Put on the red light, put on the red light
This line repeats the message that Roxanne doesn't have to engage in prostitution
