Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read-a my da-ta-base...
 
Lady Gaga was an excellent database administrator, who was often seen scribbling song lyrics on yellow Post-It pads while generating usage statistics, building schemas, monitoring access attempts, resetting passwords, setting permissions, chasing down the root cause of failed scripts, timeouts, bottlenecks, locked tables, failed backups, and other DBA kinds of things.
 
Her producers looked at these lyrics, which were later rewritten in her successful hit Poker Face, and suggested to her that she needed to spend less time in the IT shop and concentrate instead on building up an image of an over-the-top entertainer. The rest was history.

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me
(I love it)
Love 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, oh oh oh oh, o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh oh oh oh, o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

No he can't read-a my da-ta-base
(she’s got me like nobody)

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

Oh, oh oh oh oh, o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh oh oh oh, o-o-o-o-o-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read-a my da-ta-base
(she’s got me like nobody)
Can't read my,
Can't read my
No he can't read-a my da-ta-base
(she’s got me like nobody)
