Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fold em let 'em hit me raise it baby stay with me,
Love the game 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, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, and show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me,
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it ain't rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 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's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
'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, I promise this
Check this hand 'cause I am marvelous
I'm marvelous
I'm marvelous
I'm marvelous, oh marvelous
She has got to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my
She's got to love nobody
The lyrics to Poker Face by Lady Gaga are all about the game of poker, but they also contain suggestive undertones of seduction and playing hard to get. The chorus, "Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face" suggests that the singer is hiding her emotions and intentions, and is hard to read. She wants to hold her cards close to her chest and not let anyone know what she's really feeling or thinking.
The lyrics go on to describe how the singer enjoys gambling and the thrill of the game, and how she wants a partner who can keep up with her. She wants to roll with him as a hard pair, and she's not interested in anything too easy - "if it ain't rough it isn't fun". The final verse suggests that the singer is confident and not afraid to take risks - she's bluffing with her muffin and she's not lying, she's just stunnin' with her love-glue-gunning. Overall, the lyrics are a metaphor for the game of love and how it's about strategy, risk-taking and staying one step ahead of the competition.
