This track is a cover of Cherrelle's 1984 R&B hit, written by the legendary production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Palmer recorded his version as the fifth single from his multi-platinum album Riptide. He famously viewed the song's lyrics as a form of "ironic role reversal," finding it humorous for a nearly 40-year-old man to sing lyrics originally intended for a younger woman rebuffing advances. The single was a major success, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986.

Additional Features: This specific 12" single features the Original Long Version (4:38) and the B-side track "Get It Through Your Heart" (2:49). The production was handled by Bernard Edwards of Chic, giving it a high-energy, funky pop-rock edge characteristic of Palmer's mid-80s sound.
