About Maneater

The 1982 number one hit for the duo, topped the charts for 4 weeks. Per Daryl Hall – John had written a prototype of “Maneater”; he was banging it around with Edgar Winter. It was like a reggae song. I said, “Well, the chords are interesting, but I think we should change the groove.” I changed it to that Motown kind of groove. So we did that, and I played it for Sara and sang it for her…[Sings] “Oh here she comes/Watch out boy she’ll .

Maneater Lyrics

[00:44.48] She'll only come out at night
[00:47.06] The lean and hungry type
[00:49.97] Nothing is new, I've seen her here before
[00:55.20] Watching and waiting
[00:57.37] Ooh, she's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
[01:05.94] So many have paid to see
[01:08.71] What you think you're getting for free
[01:11.47] The woman is wild
[01:12.75] A she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
[01:16.92] Money's the matter
[01:19.00] If you're in it for love you ain't gonna get too far
[01:27.66] (Oh-oh, here she comes)
[01:30.32] Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
[01:33.27] (Oh-oh, here she comes)
[01:35.32] She's a maneater
[01:38.57] (Oh-oh, here she comes)
[01:41.09] Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
[01:43.10] (Oh-oh, here she comes)
[01:46.08] She's a maneater
[01:48.91]
[01:54.70] I wouldn't if I were you
[01:57.34] I know what she can do
[01:59.91] She's deadly, man
[02:01.42] She could really rip your world apart
[02:05.69] Mind over matter
[02:07.70] Ooh, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
[02:13.04]
[02:16.35] (Oh-oh, here she comes)
[02:19.25] Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up
