I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now
Ted Weems & Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder who's teaching her now
I wonder who's looking right smack in the eyes
Oh breathing sighs and telling lies
Well I wonder who's buying the wine
For the lips that I used to call mine
Well I wonder if she ever tells him of me
Oh I wonder who's buying the wine
For the lips that I used to call mine
Well I wonder if she ever tells him of me
I wonder who's kissing her now
The song "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" is a classic vehicle that explores the idea of lost love and what happens to one's ex-lover after their breakup. The lyrics express a sense of sadness and longing to know who is currently in the life of the singer's former partner. The singer wonders who is currently kissing, teaching, and looking at his ex with longing, while simultaneously experiencing a mix of sadness and anger.
The lyrics also hint at the idea that someone else is now enjoying the things that the singer used to enjoy, such as buying wine for his former partner's lips. The song is not only about the sadness of lost love but also the emotional complexity that comes with it. The melancholic melody emphasizes the song's message while simultaneously creating the perfect atmosphere for listeners to reflect upon their own memories of past loves.

@JK-xt3ms
This song was originally a hit with Henry Burr back in 1909! I like this version better, the band really does swing and Perry is secondary… 😏
