Roxanne, Roxanne
They say I only wanna party all night
Roxanne, Roxanne
No one ever loved me but it's alright

My name's Roxanne
A girl you prolly hate
A girl who all the boys crave
A girl you never knew felt so much pain.

My mama died when I was 3
Papa left me under "Home of the Refugee"
I was an orphan, but I escaped
I wanted to find love, to have someone to embrace

Everytime I see a family,
I think about why I didn't get any
Was it because I'm ugly?
Or am I really just undeserving to feel the love of a mommy?

I walked around the city lights
Thinking about how I could find a shelter for the night
It was cold, and all I was wearing was a sando
And then you came, out of the blue.

You saved me and gave me love
Gave me shelter so that I won't feel numb
And everyday, every night I smiled
I was lost, and now I'm found.

You work at the bar, that's why I go there too.
Everybody thinks I'm a stripper but I just go with you
They say you're bad for me, that you are evil
But I can put my halo over your horn and be ur angel

Roxanne, Roxanne
All I wanna do is party all night
Roxanne, Roxanne
Someone loves me, and I am alright.
