Lyrics for Poker Face as interpreted by Technophobia

Poker Face Lyrics
M-m-m-more

I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em let 'em hit me raise it baby stay with me
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, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I got
Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I got

[chorus]
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
[x2]
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-p-poker face
M-m-m-more

I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling 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 (right?)

Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I got
Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I got

[chorus]
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
[x2]
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-p-poker face
M-m-m-more

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

[chorus]
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
[x2]
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-p-poker face
M-m-m-more
[repeat till end]

Hrm. This probably ranks as my top-favorite pop song of all time. Yeah, it's that good.

She's a whore and she's using men and she's so good at hiding it that they don't suspect it until she does it to them?

Ahhh.. I think I actually got it.

She's with these guys and they're so blinded by her that they think she loves them, but she just wants their money, and that's all she's using them for.

Or I'm wrong and the previous comment is right?

I'm taking the pokerface & gambling lyrics literally.

sourblue, i think i agree more with your first comment .
i think lady gaga is using poker face & gambling as a metaphor.

" cause i`m bluffin with my muffin "
HAHA , only lady gaga . gotta love her

also, i think it may be " i`m just stunnin with my LOVE glue gun "
makes a little more sense, i think .

It is love glue gun. I typed it wrong. According to Lady Gaga's official lyrics it's also "she's got me like nobody" rather than "she's gonna love nobody" (which is distinctly what I hear), and it's also "I'll get him HOT, show him what I got." I really thought I heard hard. Haha. :]

Omgggg. This song is so freakin' addicting.

I agree that it's about a woman that plays men. It's got a really sexy beat. ;)

Haha, I thought it was 'I'll get him HARD, show him what I got', too, Technophobia. I actually like that better than 'hot', but whatever. :)

I definitely hear love game. And lovesickened, if it was "hard" she'd be just a little more trashy. Haha, not that it'd matter, I'd still love her.

I agree with Sourblue.
To me, this song is about a woman who manages to blind men with her flirtacious manner, and as a result they fall for her. Or at least she 'gets him hard' which suggests maybe a whore attitude!
But I think there's definitley a money element within this.
Poker being a well known game for money, so this comes through with the lyrics.
Absolutely love this song though; pefect for getting ready for a night out to I tell you! ;)

And I've just read the lyrics are wrong, with it's 'HOT' not 'HARD'.
Well that ruins my perception of the song haha.
I think it sounds better the way a lot of us first initially heard it though, matches the sexy beat to the song!

Love game, intuition, play the cards with spades to start

-She starts of with Spade of hearts, she takes his heart also. SO clever!

Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
-Well, Russian Roulette can be played in many ways, but the most well known ones are
1)All glasses are filled with beer/alcohol axcept for one which will contain poison or something very strong, people will go around drinking it until the one with the heavy substance in drunken.

AND TWO, ALSO THE ONE MENTIONED IN THE SONG:

2) where a bullet is placed in a revolver and people take turns putting different guns to their heads, and pulling the trigger.If that revolver is empty, you will pass it to the next person until someone pulls the trigger with the bullet inside the revolver.


poker face
won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you, 'cause I'm bluffin'=Lying.
Just thought I mention those, and you can come up with your own meanings and whatnot.

It is certainly about a woman who maintains a cool unfeeling facade, but not necessarily one who is immune to emotional involvement. "Shes gonna love nobody" is the message her face sends, but Russian Roulette is a game with risks for both participants. She prefers to have the upper hand though, concealing any arousal or actual affection, while trying to draw the man in.

she is saying all the guys can't read her poker face and see what and how she actually feels:)

"I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please"-very good

I agree with the other interpretations of the song that others have posted. She is a materialistic and shallow woman who sees the idea of love as a tool to hook men into sleeping with her, gaining their trust, and essentially, their credit cards. Her poker face is the face of infatuation, and she uses it to her advantage because her 'muffin' is too good for any man to possess, in her mind,

Yeah, I saw the video and I am pretty sure that it is about a girl who can get any man that she wants because she is just that maazing or something and she uses her "poker face" to hide it.

I believe the last line of the first stanza is atucally
"the one thats on his heart"
not
"the one that tore his heart"
