[Intro]
Take it back from the top
Oh oh oh ah oh
Oh ah oh oh oh ah
Go

[Verse 1]
Everybody look at me, me (Oh)
I walk in the door, you start screaming (Oh)
Come on, everybody, what you here for? (Oh)
Move your body around like a nympho (Oh)
Everybody get your necks to crack around (Oh)
All you crazy people, come on, jump around (Oh)
I wanna see you all on your knees, knees (Oh)
You either wanna be with me, or be me
(Come on, now)

[Chorus]
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 lovе
She’s a maneater, makе 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

[Verse 2]
And when she walks, she walks with passion (Oh)
When she talks, she talks like she can handle it (Oh)
When she asks for somethin', boy, she means it (Oh)
Even if you never ever seen it (Oh)
Everybody get your necks to crack around (Oh)
All you crazy people, come on, jump around (Oh)
You doin’ anything to keep her by your side (Oh)
Because, she said she love you, love you long time
(Come on, now)

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
(Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
You wish you never ever met her at all (What you sayin' girl?)
You wish you never ever met her at all (What you sayin’ girl?)
You wish you never ever met her at all (What you sayin’ girl?)
You wish you never ever met her at all

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date.
