Go Fish
Manila Luzon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick a card, any card, deal 'em in, hit it
Play the game, play it hard and push the limit
Bet it all, ante up, lost in the shuffle
Never cheat lady luck, love is a gamble

I know the odds are against you
Ace up the sleeve make you boo-hoo
So what? I got nothin' to prove
I'll give it another try, makin' my own rules tonight

Baby, let's go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh, go fish
Go fish
Go fish

Crazy eights, light it up, I'll give you one shot
Dance with the queen of clubs and win the jackpot
I don't need solitaire because I found you
And now that I have you here, you know we can't lose

I know the odds are against you
Ace up the sleeve make you boo-hoo
That Tammie Brown kinda cuckoo
'Cause, honey, I'm the crazy type, makin' my own rules tonight

Baby, let's go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh, go fish
Go fish
Go fish

Go fish
MM, mm
Go fish
Go fish, go fish
Go fish, go fish
This is not the end
Pick a card and try again
This is not the end
Pick a card and try again
Go fish, go fish
MM, mm, mm, mmhm
Baby
Uh




Go fish, go fish
MM, baby

Overall Meaning

Manila Luzon's song Go Fish is a playful and flirtatious song that employs gambling metaphors to describe the thrill and uncertainty of falling in love. The first verse starts with the imagery of card games, inviting the listener to join in on the action and take risks. The lyrics "Never cheat lady luck, love is a gamble" suggest that love is not a sure thing and involves taking chances. The chorus "Baby, let's go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh, Go-oh-oh, ooh-woah, oh, go fish" has a catchy and upbeat melody that encourages the listener to enjoy the ride and not worry about the outcome.


The second verse continues with more gambling references, this time referencing "Crazy Eights" and "dancing with the queen of clubs." The lyrics "I don't need solitaire because I found you, And now that I have you here, you know we can't lose" show that the singer has found something more valuable than any hand of cards, which is the person they are singing to. The song ends with the repetition of "Go fish," a playful reminder that life is about taking chances and enjoying the ride.

This video was filmed before toxic Manila stans started telling Naomi to kill her self after sending Manila home.

She's also kinda joking about people saying that Naomi were out to get her
