"Poker Face" lyrics

It's a rough hand I've been dealt
But I'm playing the game
And you've caught me
Practicing my poker face

It's game night at your house
You came 'round to talk to me
I'm smiling but somehow
You know I had a tough week
I never said a word
You just took one look at me
Now I kinda wanna leave
Cause you're onto me

I'll say a bluff, "I'm alright"
Don't wanna ruin the night

It's a rough hand I've been dealt
But I'm playing the game
And you've caught me
Practicing my poker face
You know I lie when I say
That I am okay
And you see me
Practicing my poker face

I'll blend in with the crowd
Acting like I won't have a breakdown
If anyone calls me out
Don't think I'll make it to the next round
I planned my strategy
I don't think it's working out for me 'cause wait
We lock eyes and you find what I'm tryna hide

I never said a word
You just took one look at me
Now I kinda wanna leave
Cause you're onto me

It's a rough hand I've been dealt
But I'm playing the game
And you've caught me
Practicing my poker face
You know I lie when I say
That I am okay
And you see me
Practicing my poker face

Not very good at it
You tell me that there's clearly something wrong
How could I let you in?
I smile and hope you'll soon be moving on
Go changing the subject
The bottle with my emotions in it can't break
I'm practicing my poker face

Practicing my poker face (My poker face)
Practicing my poker face (My poker face)
