(not to be confused with pleasuring yourself)

lol, fiesta. I read it the exact same way. Except I would add one thing: The way you think and feel about yourself is almost completely based on how others treat you. So when a "senorita" doesn't want to get married to you, then you re-think who you really are. That's the first way I read it.

But the people are left intentionally vague in the song, so there's lots to play with.
