Where’d she get them baby blues
That was my request
She blinked those beauties back at me
Like I’ll give you one guess

Oughtta’ have a license to kill
Walkin’ ‘round in that dress
Ain’t the 5-0 hot on the trail
She said I’ll give you one guess

One guess come on what’s your name
It’s too much for my lizard brain
Three wishes and they’re all the same
One guess and no regrets

What’s a fella’ gotta’ do
To leave a gal like her impressed
She turned her head and laughed out loud
I’ll give you one guess

One guess come on what’s your name
It’s too much for my lizard brain
Three wishes and they’re all the same
One guess and no regrets

We’re at the diner and the lights are low
And my heart’s a mess
Gotta’ ask if I can take you home
She gave me one guess
