Tributes to Roxanne

With Apologies to Sting

Roxanne,

Don't wear that bright red dress tonight.

You wandered down the street again

You fixed up your hair and make-up again

Don't wear that bright red dress again.

You don't have to walk that street, my dear,

You know where it goes and where it leads

Last week you came back with a black eye,

I know you did it cos you thought you had to,

But think about it some more tonight.

You wandered down the street again

You fixed up your hair and make-up again

Don't wear that bright red dress again.

Roxanne,

Don't wear that bright red dress tonight.

There's always anger in your eyes and fear

You don't think you know what's coming to you,

But you stand there in rain or stars every night,

I know you don't think you can let it go,

But think about it at least some tonight.

Roxanne,

Don't wear that bright red dress tonight.

Roxanne,

Don't wear that bright red dress again tonight,

You've worn it out worn it enough for the week,

There's got to be another way another day,

Why not tonight to think things through?

You wandered down the street again

You fixed up your hair and make-up again

Don't wear that bright red dress again.

Roxanne,

Don't wear that bright red dress tonight.

Roxanne,

Why do you look at me like that?
