Roxanne Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sillybunny 

Cover art for Roxanne lyrics by Sting

I’ll start by saying I love the rendition of Roxanne—Le Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge—especially the added lines of passion that Sting would so approve of

His eyes upon your face His hand upon your hand His lips caress your skin It's more than I can stand

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

Hmmm interesting, that sounds even more like the guy's dealing with jealousy and other complex issues related to open non-monogamy. (And, looking at the rest of the song, that he hasn't dealt with his feelings very well and is sort of acting like an asshole, wanting her to quit her job and financial security just so she can date him)
