Passionate Kisses - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Taken from the "Jubilee: Live at Wolf Trap" (1995) performance and found on the album "Come On, Come On".

Mary Chapin Carpenter was born Feb. 21, 1958, in Princeton, N.J. Her father was an executive for Life magazine, and she spent part of her early life living in Japan. She grew up with a love of contemporary pop hits, although her mother's Woody Guthrie and Judy Collins records gave her some interest in country/folk music. She spent her time at home with her guitar, and her father encouraged her to perform at talent nights.

Enrolling in Brown University, Carpenter earned a degree in American civilization. Between college years she would play local bars and clubs in the Washington, DC area. By 1986, she was a local star, winning five Washington Area Music Awards. She released her 1987 debut "Hometown Girl", produced by guitarist/producer John Jennings.

She returns to Washington almost every summer to perform at the popular outdoor venue Wolftrap.

Passionate Kisses lyrics:

Is it too much to ask
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Do I want too much
Am I going overboard to want that touch
I shout it out to the night
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't I have this (shouldn't I)
Shouldn't I have this (shouldn't I)
Shouldn't I have all of this, and

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

I love Mary Chapin and I have got to get to see here at Wolf Trap soon. But I'm wondering if I'm writing this on 3 Aug. 2011, how could this have been recorded on 27 Aug 2011? Typo? When was this recorded!?

@thosem - The concert was recorded in 1995.

I like the back-up sound here. I still prefer Lucinda's original, but MCC covers this as well as it can be.

I have a lot of memories connected to this song. Mary Chapin Carpenter will always be one of my top 5 country fav country artists.They just don't write nor sing them like this anymore. Good old days...

I know that this was awhile ago, but she is very pretty and keeps getting prettier with age. Go Mary!
