Overall Meaning

The song "Love Game" by LMFAO feat. Lady Gaga is a fun and flirtatious take on love and relationships. The main idea of the song is a metaphor comparing love to a game of poker. Lady Gaga sings about wanting to hold her lover like they do in Texas plays, and folding her lover when things get tough. She also mentions playing the cards with spades to start - a nod to the suit of cards used in a traditional deck of playing cards. The chorus of the song is catchy and repetitive, with Lady Gaga singing that her lover can't read her poker face and that she's got to love nobody.

The lyrics are playful and suggest that Lady Gaga is in control of the relationship. She speaks about taking her lover's bank before she pays them out, which could refer to both a literal act of taking money or more abstract concepts such as getting what she wants out of the relationship. The chorus repeats over and over again, reinforcing the idea that Lady Gaga is withholding her true feelings from her partner and keeping them guessing. Overall, "Love Game" is a fun and lighthearted track about the power dynamic in relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

Mum mum mum mah
Repetition of a nonsensical phrase that sounds catchy and is used as an intro to the song

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays
I want to play my cards with confidence and skill, just like professional Texas Hold'em Poker players do

Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
I'm ready to take risks and make moves, even if that means losing sometimes. I also enjoy the thrill of gambling and want my partner to join me in this game of love and chance

Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
To win a game of poker, you need both luck and the ability to read your opponent's body language and emotions. Spades is a strong suit in the game and a good one to start with

And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
Once I have the attention and affection of my romantic interest, I'll use that to my advantage and manipulate his feelings to keep him hooked

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
I will seduce my partner and make him desire me, using all the skills and assets that I possess

Can't read my, Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (She's got to love nobody)
Just like in a game of poker, I won't reveal my true emotions and intentions. I'm also independent and not interested in falling in love with anyone, besides maybe my own self

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah)
Repetition of the chorus and the nonsensical catchphrase. Also a reference to Lady Gaga's poker face, which was her way of hiding her true emotions from her ex-boyfriend

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
I want to team up with my partner and form an unbeatable duo, just like a pair of strong cards in poker

A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
I want to make things exciting and adventurous in our relationship, even if that means taking risks and sometimes losing

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
A reference to the game of Russian Roulette, in which players spin the cylinder of a revolver loaded with one bullet and take turns aiming the gun at their heads and pulling the trigger. The line suggests that taking risks in love and life is not the same without some kind of danger involved

And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun
Love can be exciting and pleasurable, but it can also be challenging and intense. Without the ups and downs, it's not as enjoyable

I won't tell you that I love you Kiss or hug you Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I won't be straightforward and honest about my feelings towards my partner, because I'm hiding something or trying to manipulate him. The metaphor of a muffin implies that I'm trying to be sweet and pleasant on the surface, but there's something hidden and false underneath

I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
I'm not necessarily being deceitful, but I am trying to impress and charm my partner with my love and affection. The metaphor of a love-glue gun implies that I'm trying to stick to him and make him stick to me

Just like a chick in the casino Take your bank before I pay you out
Just like a clever gambler in a casino, I'm always trying to be one step ahead of my partner and take advantage of his weaknesses. The line also implies that I'm not interested in committing to him long-term or investing too much in the relationship

I promise this, promise this Check this hand cause I'm marvelous
I'm making a bold promise or a big move in the game of love. I'm also telling my partner to pay attention and admire my confidence and skill, just like a good poker player would do
