I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now
Ray Charles Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.
I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.
The lyrics of Ray Charles's song "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" reflect on the fleeting nature of love and the doubts and insecurities it can bring upon us. The song begins by acknowledging the singer's past relationships and how each one was special to him at the time. He had promised his love and fidelity to each woman, only to move on to the next one when his feelings changed. The lyrics suggest that he might regret this later on, as he wonders if the women he once loved have found someone else who is now kissing them.
The second verse is more introspective, as the singer imagines the woman he loves being with someone else. He feels miserable and jealous, knowing that another man is experiencing the things he once did with her. The lyrics describe the physical intimacy that he shared with her, such as kissing under the moon. They also acknowledge that time moves on, and people's feelings and relationships change. He concludes that he can never be sure who is kissing her now or whom he will love in the future.
Line by Line Meaning
You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
You had many romantic relationships in the past.
And each has meant heaven to you
Each of those relationships felt like paradise to you.
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
You made promises of love to each of them in a sequence.
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You made a commitment to be faithful to each one of them.
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
You shared romantic moments under the moon when everything felt right.
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Afterwards, you moved on to find a new relationship.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?
Have you thought that the women you left behind may have moved on too?
If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
If you wish to feel sad and miserable,
Just imagine the girl you love best
Imagine the woman you love the most
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
Being kissed by another man while he's taking her away from you.
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
Your former lover's lips that you kissed with affection.
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
The world keeps turning, and today's love may vanish tomorrow.
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
Disappear quickly, leaving behind the memory of good and bad times.
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
You don't know who your former lover is kissing currently.
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.
You can't predict who you'll end up kissing in the future.
I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I am curious about who is kissing and teaching my former lover now.
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I want to know who is looking into her eyes, saying regretful words or lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I am thinking about who is buying drinks for my former lover's lips that I considered to be mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.
I'm curious if she talks about me and who is currently with her.

I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder who's teaching her how
I wonder who's looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder, who's kissing her now...
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder, I wonder pretty baby I wonder, I wonder who's kissing you now.

I wonder who's kissing her now
I wonder who's teaching her how
I wonder who's looking into her eyes
Breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder, who's kissing her now...
I wonder who's buying the wine
For lips that I used to call mine
I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder, I wonder pretty baby I wonder, I wonder who's kissing you now.
