I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now
Ted Weems & Perry Como Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder who's kissing her now
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
Wonder who's kissing her now

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

Of all the versions of this song, including later recordings by Perry, this is the one that makes me smile, a gem.

@TheDiannel

Love Perry Como, this came out the year I was born. 1947.

@sstavsky

This version came out in 1939. (See above.)

@StratKat1998

Here we go again... :)

@spencersmith2798

Fine.

@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… 😏

@criminalnchief5989

Russ columbo had his own voice but with Perry I hear alot of BING

@MiaTheFailure

he sounds more like al jolson to me.

@MyMy-zi7yv

You should hear the Bobby Darin version, totally different than this ... off the charts!
