Don Juan
Suburban Legends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was a little-bitty boy
Just above the floor
I used to play doctor
With the girls from next door
They said, "Show me yours, I'll show you mine."
From then on in that's how I spent most of my time.

Some people call me Tim

Where did that come from?
I am to be no other than
Don Juan

Ever since that fateful day
When I became a man
I've broken hearts of girls
From Guam to Japan

Could it be my savoir-faire, My personality
All I can say is that there is no one who can resist me

Overall Meaning

The Suburban Legends' song 'Don Juan' is a playful tune, which talks about a character who seems to be the quintessential ladies' man. The lyrics, when broken down, reveal a boy who is curious about what's hidden beneath a girl's clothes. The boy spends most of his time playing doctor with the girls he meets. This striking image of a child indulging in adult activities helps to establish the character's uninhibitedness from a young age. The lyrics then move on to the character's name, which some people refer to him as Tim, but he identifies himself as Don Juan. Don Juan is a renowned fictional character known for his seductive qualities, and the singer of the song seems to want to be him to have a similar effect on women.

As the lyrics move forward, they talk about the man breaking hearts from Guam to Japan, hinting that he's a worldly soul who has played the 'game' of love through various nations. He wonders whether his savoir-faire and personality is the reason behind his success with women. The song puts forth the idea that the singer is an irresistible force of attraction and that women just can't resist him. However, the overall vibe of the song isn't pompous or boastful, but rather humorous.

In some ways, the song feels like a parody, and it's difficult to say if the singer is genuinely narcissistic or if it's all a fun show. However, the playful element remains constant, and the lyrics are fun to sing along to due to its catchy tune and the subject matter.

When I was a little-bitty boy
During my childhood days

Just above the floor
When I was still short and small

I used to play doctor
I engaged in a childhood game

With the girls from next door
I played with the girls living close to our house

They said, "Show me yours, I'll show you mine."
We played a game of show and tell

From then on in that's how I spent most of my time.
This game became the usual activity I did with the girls

Some people call me Tim
I have another name

Where did that come from?
I am not sure of the origin of this name

I am to be no other than
I am committed to being

Don Juan
A legendary figure known for seducing women

Ever since that fateful day
Since that momentous event
