That said, the core of the song seems pretty simple — write a love song but map it over poker specifics. Specifically, the poker face is about hiding your real feelings from the person you love (which is the only way to make a relationship last, I’ve found).
In the chorus, and the easy-to-miss, kept-to-the-background line “She’s got me like no other” gives away the ghost — this song is about a bisexual in a relationship with a man while having feelings for a woman.
Man, those Beatles guys sure love writing songs that go just one level deeper than you thought, don’t they? I wonder if “Come Together” is secretly about wishing Burger King sold fries as good as McDonald’s so George Harrison wouldn’t have to go through two drive-thrus.
