I call her on the telephone
But she is hardly ever home
I know she’s got a lovin man
And I will see her when I can
Roxanne will always be my friend
And that’s the way I give her love

I think she’s pretty as a rose
I take her out to buy her clothes
I’d like to take her home with me
But I must wait until she’s free
Roxanne will always be my friend
And that’s the way I give her love

The way I feel I can’t explain
But I will  wait for her again
Roxanne will always be my friend
And that’s the way I give her love

(S. Thompson \  J. Mayall – Warner \ Chapel)
