Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas please
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me
(I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked

I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She' got me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She' got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
(I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun, fun

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Poker Face" by Aimer are about a woman who is confident in her ability to play poker and allure men. She begins by mentioning that she wants to hold her cards like they do in Texas, suggesting that she wants to play poker like a professional. As she plays, she relies on her luck and intuition to help her win, and once she has hooked a man, she will play the cards that speak to his heart. However, she hints that she is not being entirely honest with the men she is playing with, singing that she is "bluffin' with my muffin." In the chorus, she repeats the phrase "can't read my poker face," implying that her opponents cannot tell what she is thinking, giving her an advantage at the card table.

Overall, the song is about confidence, deception, and power dynamics, using the game of poker as a metaphor for a seductive, strategic battle between two people. It displays a strong persona, who knows what she wants and how to get it. It’s about playing with feelings, pretending to be someone else, and skilled game of concealing emotions to make others feel vulnerable.
