The Catchiest Tunes of All Times #11: Lady Gaga – “Poker Face”

 

Mum mum mum mah

 

Mum mum mum mah

Mum mum mum mah

Mum mum mum mah

Mum mum mum mah

 

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, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh

I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,

I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got

 

[Chorus:]

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

(Mum mum mum mah)

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

(Mum mum mum mah)

 

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, fun

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh

I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,

I’ll get him hot, show him what I’ve got

 

[Chorus]

 

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

(Mum mum mum mah)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker 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 lying, I’m just stunnin‘ with my love-glue-gunning

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 3x]

 

[3x]

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

(Mum mum mum mah)

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

(Mum mum mum mah)
