Lyrics
Alright boys, this really needs to have that live feel
We’ve gotta fool everyone into thinking we were really in the studio together
Playing one of our favorite tunes from the 80’sShe’ll only come out at night
A lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, I’ve seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Oh, she’s sitting with you, but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see what you think you’re getting 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 farWhoa, here she comes
Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She’s a maneater
Oh, here she comes
Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She’s a maneaterWell, 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
Oh, the beauty is there, but a beast is in her heartOh, here she comes
Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up
Oh, here she comes
She’s a maneater
Oh, here she comes
She’ll only come out at night, ooh
Oh, here she comes
She’s a maneater, maneaterOoh, she’ll chew you up
(Oh, here she comes)
Watch out, she’s a maneater
Here she comesExcuse me, are you Oates?
Why yes… as a matter of fact, I am Oates
And look what you made me do
