Maneater
Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall
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
So many have paid to see, 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
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater
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 the heart
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out, she's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater, oh she'll chew you up
Ohh, here she comes
Here she comes, she's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out, she'll only come out at night
Ohh, here she comes
Here she comes, she's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater, the woman is wild, ooh
Ohh, here she comes
Here she comes, watch out boy, watch out boy
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out
Ohh, here she comes
Watch out, she's a maneater
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater, she's watching and waiting
Ohh, here she comes
She's a maneater
Maneater - Daryl Hall
Daryl Hall's 'Maneater' stands as a defining track from his prolific solo career, blending his signature smooth vocal delivery with a polished R&B and pop production style. Released during a period where Hall established himself as a powerhouse solo artist alongside his long-time collaborator O'Kelly, the song exemplifies the lush, romantic ballad format that characterized much of his work in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The recording features intricate string arrangements and a driving rhythm section, creating an atmosphere of intense, almost predatory passion that became a staple of his live performances and studio recordings. As part of his extensive discography, the track showcases Hall's ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies that appealed to mainstream audiences while maintaining a sophisticated musical texture. It remains a notable example of his contribution to the soft rock and adult contemporary genres of his era.
