The song "Don Juan" by LaVern Baker is about a woman addressing a man named Don Juan who has lost all his money and is now facing the consequences. The woman reminisces about the luxurious lifestyle they used to have, with yachts, fancy houses, and extravagant dinners. Now that Don Juan's money is gone, his baby (the woman) is also gone, leaving him to carry on with a stiff upper lip. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and downfall as the woman reflects on the things she will miss, like the fancy meals and the special way Don Juan used to kiss her. Despite the changes in their situation, the woman encourages Don Juan to carry on and persevere. The expression "carry on" is used throughout the song to emphasize the idea of moving forward and dealing with the challenges that come with losing everything. It suggests resilience and strength in the face of adversity, urging Don Juan to keep going despite the hardship. The overall message of the song is one of acceptance and determination to face whatever comes next.
