LETRA :

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
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, oh

I loved 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 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
You don't have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light

Antes de publicar el Outlandos d'Amour Roxanne es su primer gran sencillo, al tener aceptacion lo hacen parte de este disco.

Roxanne habla del amor desesperado hacia una prostituta que Sting habia conocido en Amsterdam mas concretamentre en la conocida calle Vie en rue (via roja), provocando en ese momento la censura por parte de todas las emisoras de musica de habla inglesa.
