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, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh-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)

Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her 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, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

Oh, woah-oh, oh, oh, oh-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)

Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (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)

Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face

Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (she's got me like nobody)

Po-po-po-poker face, fu-fu-fuck her face (mum-mum-mum-mah)
