Maneater Lyrics

Alright, boys. This really needs to have that "live" feel
We've gotta make them- we've gotta fool everyone into thinking they're really in the studio together
Playing one of our favorite tunes from the 80s

She'll only come out at night: a lean and hungry type
Nothing is new. I've seen her here before. Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sitting with you; but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see; what'd you think, you'll get it 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. (hahahaha)

(Whoa 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

Well, I wouldn't if I were you. I know what she can do
She's deadly, man. She could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter: ooh, the beauty is there, but a beast is in her heart. (oh-oh)

(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) she'll only come out at night. (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Oh oh, here she comes) she's a maneater, maneater

Ooh, she'll chew you up
(Oh oh, here she comes) watch out! She's a maneater
Here she comes
Excuse me;
Are you Oates?
Why, yes
As a matter of fact, I am Oates
Now look what you made me do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
