Maneater Lyrics

She only comes out at night
The lean and hungry type
Oh, nothing is new
I seen her here before
Watchin' and waitin'
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
Woman is wild
A she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
Ain't gonna get too far, no

Woah, here she comes
Woah, here she comes
(Watch out boy she's gonna chew you up)
Watch out boy she's gonna chew you up
(Woah, here she comes)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
She only come out at night
Well she's a really hungry type
(Woah, here she comes)
Oh, the woman is wild, woman is wild
No, I seen her here before
Woah, woah, say
(Woah, woah, oh woah)
You gotta think about it
She's a maneater, yeah
The woman is wild

Wouldn't if I were you
Oh, I know what she can do
She's so deadly, man
She can really rip the world apart
Mind over matter
Well the beauty is there
Beast is in her heart

Woah, here she comes
(Watch out boy, you better watch out boy)
Watch out boy she gonna chew you up
Mm
(Woah, here she comes)
Oh, here she comes
Only comes out at night
Well she's a lean and hungry type
(Woah, here she comes)
(Watch out boy she's gonna chew you up)
She's gonna rip your world apart
You know the beast is in her heart
(Woah, oh, woah)

Oh, watch out boy, you better watch out boy

Woman is wild, woman is wild

She's a deadly fantasy, mm

Well you ain't gonna get too far
Cuz if you're in it for love, it's gonna leave a scar hey!

Oh watch out boy, she's gonna chew you up

What is the Meaning of Maneater?

Beware the nocturnal predator, cloaked in allure and mystery. This tale spins the yarn of a femme fatale, a woman who prowls the night with an insatiable hunger for more than just affection. She’s a mesmerizing specter, captivating her prey with beauty and charm, but beneath lies a voracious heart. Men fall into her trap, mistaking her wild nature for passion, only to find themselves consumed by her relentless greed. Love is but an illusion she wields expertly; money is her true game. Her deadly allure can rip worlds apart and leave scars that run deep. In this haunting narrative, she’s not just a woman—she's an untamed force of nature, a maneater who devours those who dare to get too close.
