It wasn't until just now that I found out that this is actually a cover of the same song, released the prior year by British musician Mike Oldfield and sung by Maggie Reilly. Here's the original:

Watch Out Boy, She'll Chew You Up
4:30 A.M, I felt a rustling on my bed. Half-awake, the movement on my bed felt like a small animal. Terrified, I sat up, only to see my 4 year old daughter crawling across my bed to get under the covers. Immediately a song jumped into my mind:
I remember watching this video on MTV as a kid. I was lucky, I had cool parents that not only let us watch MTV, but encouraged us to watch it, AND watched it with us. The way my daughter was moving on the bed reminded me of the panther in this video. Whenever I see a panther, I immediately think about this music video and this song.
Hall and Oates, I think I need to get one of their albums. Many times in my life, I've heard a song, thinking: "Wow, I like this song," only to learn that it's by Hall and Oates.
I hope my little girl doesn't grow up to be a maneater. She's certainly stolen my heart thus far in her life. I showed her this music video today and she said to me "Dad, do panthers really chew you up?" No, but dads do to their adorable little girls.
