Roxanne
Roxanne You dont' 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 street 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
I love 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 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 the crime tha way
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 street 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
I love you since I knew ya

I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share with another boy

so put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again

Well it has started. After posting my article yesterday, I have been
flooded with requests for Police songs in Tab. So today I have sat down,
in between lectures and typed in Roxanne for your playing pleasure.
Since I am doing a number of songs, I would like a favour in return. I
would like a list of good quality bootlegs of Police concerts and where I
can get a hold of them expecially in Australia. That's the bargin, info
for songs.
Stay tuned for more songs.
