Naked to the World is the eighth album by Teena Marie, released on March 21, 1988.

It is a return to her soul/funk roots following the experimentation of her previous album Emerald City, which had been a critical and commercial disappointment.

The tracks "Call Me (I Got Yo Number)" and "The Once and Future Dream" reunited Teena with former mentor and duet partner Rick James.

The album also included Marie's first collaboration with Klymaxx star Bernadette Cooper on the track "Crocodile Tears".

Marie subsequently appeared on her album Drama According To Bernadette Cooper the following year.
