You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long ago,
And each one 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 boy,
That's she's prob'ly doing the same?

I wonder who's kissing her now,
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs! 
Telling lies!
I wonder if she's got a boy?
The girl who once filled me with joy,
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?

If you want fo feel wretched and lonely and blue,
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 a pace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear.
So you never can tell who is kissing her how.
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now,
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking in to her eyes?
Breathing sighs! 
Telling lies!
I wonder who's buying the wine?
For lips that I used to call mine,
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?


**In 1909, Harold Orlob composed the song when he worked for Music Publishers Company which was owned 
by Joseph Howard. As was customary at that time, the copyright of the song was given to the publisher. 
For many years Howard maintained that he was the sole composer. In 1947 the film "I Wonder Who's Kissing 
Her Now", which was about Howard, was released. Orlob sued to have himself declared as the real composer. 
Orlob did not ask for any monetary damages. An out-of-court agreement was reached, in which Joe Howard 
and Harold Orlob were credited as co-composers. Orlob received no financial restitution.
