We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off

In a reversal of traditional norms, this song finds Stewart telling a girl to slow her roll - he's not just some piece of meat she can love an leave behind. A man wants to be approached cool and romantically. The only indication it's a girl he's singing to is the video, where he's singing it to a lady. They lyric never identifies the gender of his pursuer, whom he refers to as "baby." Stewart, who died of AIDS-related causes in 1997, was gay.

Written by Narada Michael Walden and Preston Glass, this was the first single from Stewart's second album, Frantic Romantic. Walden was enjoying smashing success around this time, having produced Whitney Houston's first album and Aretha Franklin's return to glory, Who's Zoomin' Who? He pretty much nailed the quirky, fun sound of the '80s and could coax great performances out of expressive singers like Stewart.

Most of this track was built with electronic instruments: a Linn drum machine, Simmons electronic drums, Moog bass and a selection of keyboards and synthesizers. Corrado Rustici played guitar and Marc Russo played the saxophone fills.
