Finish the lyric: 'Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my...'

The lyric “Can’t read my, can’t read my, no he can’t read my...” ends with “poker face.” It is the signature hook of Lady Gaga’s 2008 song “Poker Face.”

The track was written by Lady Gaga and RedOne and released as the second single from Gaga’s debut album, The Fame. Its lyrics combine gambling imagery with sexual and romantic innuendo. The “poker face” is a metaphor for concealing one’s true thoughts and feelings, so the song’s narrator challenges another person to figure out what she is really thinking.

Listeners sometimes remember “heart,” “eyes,” or “mind” because those words commonly follow phrases about reading someone’s emotions. In this song, however, the repeated phrase is specifically “poker face.” The opening vocal hook is also distinctive: “Mum-mum-mum-mah” echoes a phrase associated with Boney M.’s 1977 song “Ma Baker.” “Poker Face” won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
