Fold em' let em' hit me raise it
Baby stay with me
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, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me
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, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-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 goy me like nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's goy me like nobody)
I wanna hold em' like they do in texas please
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it
Baby stay with me
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, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-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 goy me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, my p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, my p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, my p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, my p-p-poker face
Poker Face (From Radio 1 Live Lounge)
Mika's 'Poker Face' stands as a defining moment in modern pop, blending electronic textures with a catchy, repetitive hook that became a global anthem. Originally recorded for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, this track showcases the artist's signature ability to merge indie sensibilities with mainstream appeal. The song's minimalist production highlights its lyrical simplicity, focusing on themes of emotional detachment and social observation. Released as a standalone recording rather than part of a traditional album cycle, it exemplifies the era's shift toward digital-first releases and live performance recordings. Its enduring popularity stems from its infectious rhythm and the way it captured the zeitgeist of the late 2000s, cementing Mika's status as a key figure in contemporary pop music.
