Dear Señoritas
Mike Pinto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus
Girl you better love your man
Before he finds somebody else that can
You can ignore my advice but you better think twice
Before you leave him without love again
And you may think that he will always stay
You may think his love will never stray
But there’s empty beds out there so you better beware

Another woman soon could take your place

I know this señorita who didn’t hear what I have told
You know she didn’t satisfy and that’s exactly why
Her husband left her all alone
And this señorita is filled with anger and disgrace
Because her husband unkind only left behind
His image on her children’s face

Well Well you can only blame yourself
Now your husband’s lovin’ someone else (good lord)
But this is the price you’ll pay
Because every man needs a little bit of love…at least 3 times a
day

(Chorus)

I know this puta hermosa
She’s working on the boulevard
You know her loving is cheap seven days of the week
Her lovers come from near and far
And this puta hermosa
Although she never felt real love
Well tonight a senor will keep begging her for more
So to her its close enough

Well Well how the women call you names
Little do they know that they’re to blame
But you don’t hear a word they say
Cause its their man who comes for just a little bit of love…at
least three times a day

(Chorus)

Overall Meaning

The song "Dear Señoritas" by Mike Pinto is a cautionary tale about the importance of appreciating one's partner and providing them with love and attention. The chorus emphasizes the idea that if a woman neglects her man, someone else might step in to take her place. It also implies that men have a constant need for love and affection, which can result in infidelity if not satisfied.

The verse tells the story of two women who have failed to fulfill their partners' needs, leading to disastrous consequences. The first "señorita" didn't satisfy her husband, causing him to leave her and leave behind a legacy of pain for their children. The second woman, a "puta hermosa," provides sexual favors for money and has never experienced real love but has a constant stream of lovers. The song implies that both women have brought their situations upon themselves and warns against neglecting a partner's needs, especially for physical intimacy.

Overall, the song presents a jaded view of relationships, where men have a constant need for affection and women's roles are reduced to pleasing them. However, it also highlights the importance of communication and being attentive to a partner's needs to prevent infidelity and heartbreak.

Well Well how the women call you names Little do they know that they’re to blame But you don’t hear a word they say Cause its their man who comes for just a little bit of love…at least three times a day
Women may call the prostitute names, but they don't know that they're to blame for their man coming to her for love at least three times a day. Regardless, she doesn't hear a word they say because they don't understand why their man comes to her.

The chorus is repeated to emphasize that women should love their men and be careful not to lose them to someone else.
