Nelly Furtado Maneater

“Maneater” is a song by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado from her third studio album, Loose (2006). The song was written by Furtado, Jim Beanz, and its producers Timbaland, Danja. It was released to mainstream radio in the United States in July 2006. The song’s musical style and production were inspired by the Hall & Oates song of the same name and other music from the 1980s.

The song received positive reviews from music critics, with most comparing the song to Madonna and Depeche Mode songs from the 1980s. Outside North America, “Maneater” became one of Furtado’s most popular singles, topping the charts in the United Kingdom and peaking within the top ten of the charts across much of Europe and Australia. The song became a club hit in North America but was less commercially successful than the lead single “Promiscuous”.

The accompanying music video was filmed by American director Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles. In the United States, the video premiered on Yahoo! Music on 6 September 2006, and was given a “First Look” on MTV’s Total Request Live on 8 September.[2][3] The song was included on the setlist for Furtado’s third tour Get Loose Tour.

Lyrics

[Intro: Timbaland]
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Oh-oh-oh-ah-oh
Oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-ah

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
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: Nelly Furtado]
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

[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
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: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
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)

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, oh (Oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah (Come on, now)

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
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 (Oh, oh, oh)
She’s a maneater, make you buy cars (Oh, oh, oh)
Make you cut cards, wish you never ever met her at all

[Outro: Nelly Furtado & Timbaland]
No, 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 (Come on!)
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 (Break!)
