"Poker Face" is a song originally by Lady Gaga that Melanie Martinez covered.
A snippet resurfaced on October 6, 2022, however, the full cover remains lost.
Theme[]
Lady Gaga wanted to write a song her boyfriend would like, forming the main idea behind the song being about bisexuality and was a tribute by Gaga to her rock 'n' roll boyfriends. Lyrically "Poker Face" is about sex and gambling. Gaga was inspired by her days as a New York City go-go dancer, and is one of her favorite songs of the album. The term, "Poker Face", represents the tricks she used to fool man, and sometimes woman that she was into them, so they would throw money at her. There is also an ambiguous part with "He's got me like nobody" and "She's got me like nobody" in the chorus, which caused some undertone of confusion about love and sex.

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 plays, (Ay)
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, woah, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-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 got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She 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 (Ay)
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 its not rough it isn't fun (fun)
Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-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 got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She 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 lying
I'm just stunnin'
With my love-glue-gunning (Mah)
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 got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face
P-p-p-poker face, f-f-fuck her face
