Lyrics of the song -"Poker Face" 

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)

Love game 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, whoa, oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh

I'll get him hot, show him what I got

Oh, whoa, oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh

I'll get him hot, show him what I got


Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)


P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)


I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be

A little gamblin' 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 it's not rough, it isn't fun (fun)


Oh, whoa, oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh

I'll get him hot, show him what I got

Oh, whoa, oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh

I'll get him hot, show him what I got


Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)


P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

(Mum-mum-mum-mah)

(Mum-mum-mum-mah)


I won't tell you that I love you, kiss or hug you

'Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin

I'm not lyin', I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunnin'

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


Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)

Can't read my, can't read my

No, he can't read my poker face

(She's got me like nobody)


P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (she's got me like nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)

P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
