[CHRISTIAN]
Roxanne

[ZIDLER, spoken]
Word to the wise, my dear
Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself
It always ends badly

[CHRISTIAN (ENSEMBLE)]
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk these streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
[THE DUKE, spoken]
I am André Dacor Benicieux, le Duc de Monroth
You will reject the boy! Shatter him! You will break his heart!

[CHRISTIAN (ENSEMBLE)]
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
Help me I'm holding on for dear life (Roxanne)
Help me I'm holding on for dear life (Roxanne)

Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me but
Just don't deceive me
And, please, believe me when I say
I love you

[SATINE, spoken]
You mean nothing to me
I feel nothing for you
You are nothing
