Dit nummer is geïnspireerd door het verblijf van The Police in de rosse buurt van Parijs in oktober 1977. Het nummer gaat dan ook over een prostituee. De naam Roxanne is ontleend aan een personage uit Cyrano de Bergerac. Tijdens hun verblijf in Parijs hing er een poster in de foyer van het hotel met reclame voor deze voorstelling.

Songtekst

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
