Maneater
The Folk Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new
I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sittin' with you
But her eyes are on the door
What you think
You're gettin' 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
(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)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man
And she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
Ooh, the beauty is there
But a beast is in the heart
(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)
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
She's a maneater
Ooooooooh
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
Watch out boy
She'll chew you up
(Whoa-oh, here she comes
(Watch out) she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
Ooh, she'll chew you up
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes, she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(Watch out)
She'll only come out at night, ooh-oh
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
She's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
The woman is wild, whoooa
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Here she comes
Watch out boy, watch out boy
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Oh, watch out, watch out
Watch out, watch out
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(Yeah, yeah) she's a maneater
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
(She's a maneater)
She's watching and waiting, ooh-oh
(Oh-oh, here she comes)
Oh, she's a maneater

The lyrics of "Maneater" by The Folk Men describe a woman who only comes out at night and is described as the "lean and hungry type." The singer warns a man about her, saying that she's seen her before, and she's "watching and waiting." Although she seems to be sitting with the man, her eyes are on the door, indicating she's not fully invested in the situation. The song suggests that many have paid to see what the man thinks he's getting for free, which could imply that she's using him for his money.
The woman is described as a "she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar," emphasizing that although she may seem beautiful and graceful, there's a beast inside her heart. The singer warns the man that she's deadly and could rip his world apart. Although she's beautiful and alluring, the song suggests that any man who falls for her will suffer the consequences. The chorus repeats the warning to "watch out, boy, she'll chew you up" and emphasizes that she's a maneater.
