I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron
Someboy told me that her name was Jill
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

Yes, my heart stood still
Yes, her name was Jill
And when I walked her home
da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

I knew what she was thinkin' when she caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron
I looked so quiet but my oh my
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

Yes, she caught my eye
Yes, but my oh my
And when I walked her home
da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron ron

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shaun Cassidy's "Da Doo Ron Ron" describe a love at first sight encounter. The singer of the song meets a girl named Jill on a Monday and immediately feels his heart skip a beat. When he walks her home, he knows exactly what she's thinking despite his seemingly quiet demeanor. By the end of the song, he's picked her up for a date and is determined to make her his own.


The song captures the excitement and giddy feeling of infatuation. The repetitive "da doo ron ron" is a nonsensical expression of that feeling, emphasizing the instinctual nature of love.

Da Doo Ron Ron[Shaun Cassidy](c.s.m.)

I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still
나는 그녀를 월요일에 만났어요. 그리고 내심장은 멈춰버렸죠.
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
다 두 론 론 론, 다 두 론 론
Somebody told me that her name was Jill
누군가 말해줬죠. 그녀의 이름이 질이라고
Yes my heart stood still
맞아요. 내 심장은 멈춰버렸어요.
Yes, her name was Jill
맞아요. 그녀의 이름은 질이에요.

And when I walked her home
그리고 내가 그녀를 집으로 데려다 줄 때

I knew what she was thinking when she caught my eye
나는 그녀와 눈이 마주쳤을 때 그녀가 무엇을 생각하는지 알았죠.
I looked so quiet but my oh my
나는 매우 조용해 보였지만 오~
Yes she caught my eye
맞아요. 그녀와 눈이 마주쳤어요.
Yes, but my oh my
맞아요. 그러나 오~

Well I picked her up at seven and she looked so fine
글쎄요. 내가 그녀를 7시에 픽업했는데 그녀는 너무 예뻐보였어요.
Someday soon I'm gonna make her mine
언젠가 곧 나는 그녀를 나의 것으로 만들 거예요.
Yes she looked so fine
맞아요. 그녀는 너무나 예뻐보였어요.
Yes I'll make her mine
맞아요. 나는 그녀를 내것으로 만들거에요.

저는 지금 61세 환갑이네요
옛날 젊은시절 디스코텍 다녔을 때가 그립네요
오랜만에 꺼내들으니 그시절로 돌아간듯 흥겹네요
숀케시디 무척 귀엽네요^^❤

I lost my childhood best friend at the age of 57 in April of 2022. I miss her so much. Then this song popped into my thoughts and I started singing it. I've not thought of Shaun Cassidy in a while. But this song came into my thoughts after I watched an episode on Virgin River when Hope was talking to her deceased best friend Lauren?'s ghost! Couldn't help but miss my beastie watching this episode. Not being able to say good bye because of an emergency visit to the hospital due to an infection from a vitamin port she had accidently ripped out a week before her demise. I'm so so sad. But this memory really brought as smile to my face. We loved Shaun Cassidy! At the age of 15 and 16 and we had a poster of him on the bedroom door.
