Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take it back, take it back

Everybody look at me me
I walk in the door you start screaming
C´mon everybody what you here for
Move your body around like a nympho

Everybody get your neck to crack around
All you crazy people c´mon jump around
I wanna see you all on your knees knees
You either wanna be with me or be me (C´mon now)

Maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She´s a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Make you fall real hard in love

She´s a maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all

And when she walks she walks with passion
When she talks she talks like she can handle it
When she asks for something boy, she means it
Even if you never ever seen it

Everybody get your neck to crack around
All you crazy people c´mon jump around
You doing anything to keep her by your side
Because she says she love you, love you long time (C´mon now)

Maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She´s a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Make you fall real hard in love

She´s a maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all

(Oh Oh) Aaaaa... [Repeat 4x]

(C'mon now)

Maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She´s a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Make you fall real hard in love

She´s a maneater
Make you work hard make you spend hard
Make you want all of her love
She's a maneater
Make you buy cars make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all

No, Never ever met her at all

(What'chu sayin' girl?)
You wish you never ever met her at all [Repeat 7x]





(I've been around the world, I've never seen a girl like this)
She's a maneater, a maneater [Repeat 4x]

Overall Meaning

"Maneater" by Nelly Furtado (interpreted by Boy Kill Boy) describes a woman who preys on men's weaknesses and desires, leaving them wanting more and spending whatever it takes to keep her attention. The singer warns that she is a danger to those who fall under her spell, but also admits that he cannot resist her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Maneater" and lists the ways in which she manipulates and controls her lovers, making them work hard and spend hard for her love.


The lyrics could be interpreted as a commentary on the power dynamic between men and women in relationships, with the woman taking on the traditionally masculine role of the hunter and the man becoming the prey. The lyrics also touch on themes of obsession and addiction, as the singer becomes consumed by his desire for the Maneater and unable to break free from her hold.


Overall, the song is a catchy and upbeat pop tune that warns of the dangers of falling for someone who can't be trusted, while also acknowledging the thrill of the chase and the allure of a dangerous romance.
