Can you read me?
I don't think so.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Hey, everybody says,
Watch the eyes, watch the hands,
Watch the breathing, watch the smile.
Someone read a poker book,
Someone watched a hundred videos,
Someone memorized probabilities,
Someone just showed up.
Hungry, with absolutely no plan,
And somehow, they're winning.
Every player has a tell,
Or maybe, that's exactly
What they want you to believe.
Read my face, read my smile,
Read my heartbeat, stay a while.
Read my hands, read my eyes,
Good luck guessing what's inside.
Read my face, take a shot,
Maybe I'm strong, maybe I'm not.
One thing's certain, nobody knows
Until the river finally shows.
Read me.
Read me.
Read me.
Read me.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Stand suddenly becomes very quiet,
Boston starts talking way too much.
Leo keeps stacking chips
Like a construction worker
Building luxury condos on the poker table.
The rookie smiles exactly the same,
Whether holding pocket aces or a seven-deuce.
Honestly, that's terrifying.
Everybody acting like detectives
Searching for invisible connections.
Reading eyebrows, reading shoulders,
Reading coffee cups like they're crystal balls.
Meanwhile, the winning hand is sitting over there
Listening to the playlist, thinking about dessert.
Poker's funny like that.
The smartest person at the table
Sometimes gets completely destroyed
By someone who says,
I just had a good feeling.
Maybe confidence is fake.
Maybe nervousness is fake.
Maybe everything is fake
Except the laughter when the cards
Hit the table.
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
Read the face, read the hands,
Read the silence, read the room.
No!
Forget all that, just play.
Read the face, read the hands,
Read the silence, read the room.
No!
Forget all that, just play.
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
The best poker face isn't serious.
It isn't cold, it isn't perfect.
It's comfortable, it's relaxed.
It's enjoying the moment
Because when you're having fun
Everybody else starts overthinking.
Every tiny movement, every tiny smile,
Every tiny sip of coffee
And suddenly they're bluffing themselves.
Oh!
Oh!
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
Boo!
Read my face, read my soul,
Read the story, not the role.
Win with class, lose with grace,
Never let the smile leave your face.
Read my face, call my bluff,
Life is short, one hand's enough.
Then another, and another.
Until the sun comes up.
Ooh, ooh, yeah.
The dealer smiles.
Ooh, ooh, yeah.
The cards are shuffled.
Someone says,
I knew you were bluffing.
Someone else replies,
No, I was bluffing myself.
The whole table erupts.
Read my face.
Read my face.
Good luck, good luck.
Read my face.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah.
Yeah!
