Maneater Lyrics

She'll only come out at nights
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
She's sittin' with you
But her eyes are on the door

So many have paid to see
What you think you're gettin' for free
The woman is wild
A she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far

Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man
And she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart

Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh-oh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater

Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Oh-oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater

Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Oh oh, here she comes
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
Oh oh, here she comes
She's a maneater
