Poker Face

I am usually pretty good with lyrics. I can usually understand what an artist is saying and can identify with them from one point in my life or another. Except with Lady Gaga. I don't understand  her half the time. Love the music, love the beat, but just don't get the words. That is until Tuesday night...

Yes I am a Gleek. I love the show Glee. Music, high school drama, its great. So Tuesday's theme was theatrics where they put Lady Gaga's song and fashion sense (or lack thereof) into play. But there was one song that I just loved. It was Poker Face, but done in a different way. Sung by Lea Michele and one of my favorite broadway stars Idina Menzel. You can go here to hear their version. I love it. So today I thought I would post the lyrics. Now that I can understand them.

I wanna hold em like the do in Texas place
Fold em, let em hit me, raise it, baby stay with me
Love the 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 uh-oh oh, oh uh-oh oh
I'll get him hard and show him what I've got
Oh uh-oh, oh, oh uh-oh oh
I'll get him hard and 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 to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my
Poker Face, she's got to love nobody

Poker face
Poker face
Poker face
Poker face

I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when your with me
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when its love if aint rough it isn't fun

Oh uh-oh oh, oh uh-oh oh
I'll get him hard and show him what I got
Oh uh-oh oh, oh uh-oh oh
I'll get him hard and show him what I got

Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my
Poker face, she's got to love nobody
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my
Poker face, she's got to love nobody

I won't tell you that I love, kiss or hug you cause I'm bluffing
with my muffin
I'm not lying, I'm just stunning with my love blue gunnin

Just like a chick in a casino, take your bank
before I pay you out
I promise this, I promise this, check this hand
cause I am marvelous

I'm marvelous
I'm marvelous
I'm marvelous
So marvelous
She's got to love nobody

Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my
Poker face, she's got to love nobody
