Lady Gaga Lyrics
"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 (Woo)
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
LoveGame 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-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've 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 (Woo)
A little gamblin' is fun when you're with me (I love it, woo)
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-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've 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, f-f-fuck her 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)

"Poker Face" is the second single from Lady Gaga's debut studio album, "The Fame". The song was premiered on September 26, 2008 accompanied by a music video which features Gaga playing strip poker. RedOne produced the track and co-wrote it with Lady Gaga. The song is about sexual innuendo and teasing.
This song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at 92 in the USA on the issue dated January 3, 2009, and became the best-selling single of 2009 worldwide. It peaked on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Club Play charts and has been certified "Diamond" by the Recording Industry Association of America.
"Poker Face" was covered and sampled numerous time, e.g. actor Christopher Walken performed it a cappella on BBC1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in 2009 and Lea Michele performed an acoustic version of it with Idina Menzel in the "Theatricality" episode of Glee. The parody version, entitled "Homer Face", was made for the end credits of the 2012 "The Simpsons" final episode "Lisa Goes Gaga".
Lady Gaga told about this song's video in an episode of her "Transmission Gagavision" series, "I knew I wanted it to be sexy, so I thought no pants, because that's sexy. [...] And I knew I wanted it to be futuristic, so I thought shoulder pads, because that's my thing." Some versions of the video have the words "muffin" (slang for "vagina"), "Russian Roulette" and "gun" censored out.
The post-chorus of "Poker Face" really contains explicit words with "P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face" which was confirmed by Lady Gaga during her performance at Wango Tango in Irvine, California, in 2009. She explained, in particular, before singing this song, "KIIS FM was the only one that said that I had to censor my lyrics 'cause they thought they maybe saying something bad. [...] the only one who was right they cut on." This fact drew attention more than 10 years after the song's release, after a revelation someone made in a TikTok video which went viral in February 2021. As a result, the song began trending with fans re-checking these lyrics again, although the official booklet lyrics don't list the expletives in the post-chorus.
