Yo yo yo Hey yo shake what ya mama gave you is her motto Pour out the bottle blow out the candle Too broke to hold too shallow to handle Get all today you never promised tomorrow Yeah her moves remind me of kung fu flicks Thick lips that contradicts rules of the game She plays the politics Red light special red light district Put on ya make up body all made up Platinum played up Pearl Jam cut up Roxanne Roxanne you don't really have to Put on ya red dress if you feeling kind of blue She got the hots for the disco jocks Rock ya socks at the pop of the tops Never get cool like to call it Glock Twisted minded like Bob Zealot
Roxanne (Roxanne Roxanne)
You dont have to put on the red light (ye ye ye yeah yeah) Those days are over You dont have to sell your body to the night (c'mon) (Roxanne Roxanne) Roxanne Roxanne Roxanne You dont have to wear that dress tonight (remix) Walk the streets for money You dont care if it's wrong or if it's right (ye ye yeah)
Yo what's the haps girl, dancing for the green paperback Sitting at the bar drinking up Cognac She steps in the room, dont know how to act Sweet in emergence, similar to Similac It was the hat Cats wanna be around her shine She wants to party, have a good time She feels kind of hot me feelin' feelin' fine Diggin' all her life just to get a gold mine Bro making the streets she's the pimper's paradise Jewels around her neck getting strong with the ice She said I heard of ya crew I'm the number one fan Of the refugees down from the islands Driving the Bentleys with her pretty pretty friends Sippin' colada every day is a weekend Heard your name was Pras outta Brooklyn And fifteen million place with your total sound scan
I loved you since I knew you (I like this part, Roxanne Roxanne) I wouldn't talk down to you I have you to tell just how I feel (Roxanne Roxanne) I won't share you with another boy (Ye ye ye yeah yeah) I know my mind is made up (Roxanne Roxanne) So put away your makeup (Roxanne Roxanne) Told you once I won't tell you again It's a bad way (Ye ye yeah, yeah)
Roxanne You dont have to put on the red light Roxanne You dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne You dont have to put on the red light Roxanne You dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne Roxanne I wanna be your man Put on the red light Roxanne Roxanne I wanna be your man Put on the red light Roxanne Roxanne I wanna be your man Put on the red light
