She wanna have whatever she like
She can if she bring her friend
And we can have one hell of a night
Through the day
Eh, I mean staring like a creeper cause you gotta peep ?er
I mean you probably might be saying you ain't jockin? either
But man, o girl got a fat old ass
Yeah, the type that make you tell a be!tch just dance
And fuck them other niggas cause you down for her be!tches
Fuck them other niggas cause she down for the stickin?
And fuck them other niggas hope she down for some lickin?
And fuck them other be!tches
Cause she?s down for the trickin? up

I?m hopin? she a rider
When its said and done
And she spit it up and swallow now
I ain?t got a trip about them niggas who like her
But me and mammy know who can really make her go

Lady Gaga

Gettin? brain in the library cause I love knowledge
When you use your Medulla Oblongata
And give me scoliosis until I comatoses
And do it while I sleep yeah a little osmosis
And that?s my commitment you ain?t gotta ask Moses
More champagne more toast?es
More damn planes, more coast?es
And fuck a bus, the Benz is parked like Rosa?

Common
She said she want whatever she like
But she gotta bring your friend
We could have a hell of a night, through the day
She blamed it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
She had her hair did, it was bound to fall
Down, down for a damn, Cudi already said it
A poker face book I already read it
But man, her head was gooder than the music
Electro body known to blow fuses
A stripper from the south lookin for a payday
Said bitch you should do it for the love like Ray Jay
But they say you be on that conscious tip
Get your hair right and get up on this conscious dick
I embody everything from the Gali to the party
Its the way I was raised on the south side safari, so

Lady GaGa
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
(When I)
P-p-p-poker face
P-p-poke her face
(I make her say)

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh
(When I)
P-p-p-poker face
P-p-poke her face

Lady Gaga
Can?t read my, can?t read my




No he can?t read my poker face
She?s got me like nobody

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kid Cudi's Make Her Say Ft. Kanye West and Common take on a sexual tone, with the repetitive use of the phrase “poker face” as a double entendre for having sex with a girl. It’s clear that the song is about casual sex, one-night stands, and hooking up with a girl who has a hot friend. Cudi, Kanye, and Common lust after this woman’s body, making references to her “fat old ass” and how she is “down for the trickin' up.” They hope she’s a “rider” who can “make her go,” offering money, champagne, and expensive cars to impress her.


The song also makes use of Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” to give the vocals a melodic element. The sexually suggestive lyrics juxtaposed with the upbeat dance track twist the song’s overall meaning. The use of “poker face” by Lady Gaga in her song refers to hiding emotions during gambling, but in Make Her Say, the term represents a sexual innuendo. The song is a clever play on words that ultimately leaves the listener feeling uncomfortable about the blurring lines between sex and love.
