Passionate Kisses

[SlickTony]

Lyrics by Lucinda Williams

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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

Do I want too much?
Am I going overboard to want that touch?
I shouted out to the night
Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right

CHORUS x 2

Whatinhell happens to them, after you get married? You go from girlhood, when they're your sole ration, to never, never getting enough. If there's anything that I feel lacking in my sex/love life, it's that I don't get kissed enough. I don't think I have bad breath--I spend more time at the dentist than I care to think about, and I'm sure that if I had this problem, my dentist would have said something.

Why do women--and so far, I'm convinced that this is largely a woman's problem--have to go from being all revved up to being expected to go from 0 to 50 with a cold engine?

I don't really have any desire to step out on my husband, because he hasn't done it to me, to say nothing of all the various sex plagues out there, but if there's anything that would tempt me to do so, it's that I know that all affairs at least start out with passionate kisses. In fact, I have a theory that a great many people--and it's my theory that they're mostly women--embark on an affair for the sake of all the mashing and smooching and since they're adults, they're expected to give/take everything that comes along with it.

Let's discuss this...

I think people lose the passion in their relationships, but frankly, it is their own fault. It does start with kissing and touching, though. Every time I see some husband(or wife, but mostly the guys) complain about the lack of passion in their marriage, my first question is always, "When was the last time you kissed your wife, really kissed her?" Not during foreplay, not a hello or goodbye peck, but a long, slow, deep kiss, the kind that makes you forget about time and space, the sort of kiss where you are thinking about nothing else. When you kiss someone like that, so lost in that moment, I think everything else can fall into place.

Well, you'll get no argument from me. That's basically what I said.

Lucinda wrote it, but Mary-Chapin Carpenter made it famous by singing it.

I was gonna say...

That's what I long for...

It seems like with the daily grind, SO many things fall to the wayside. And the first thing that goes is anything SLOW. Life just moves so fast. Instead of taking the time for that long, deep kiss, we can make the kids' toast and pour the orange juice for breakfast during that time, and get out the door so much faster.

Which explains why relationships fall apart, I think. TIME.

I miss those long kisses.

Amen

Well, you'll get no argument from me. That's basically what I said.

Well...I think I said it better!

I'm a very touchy-feely physically affectionate guy
I think sometiems it's so easy to get lost in casual closeness that you forget the passion & specialness touching can have when you first met

At least once a day you should make the effort to look at your partner, remember that passion, and kiss them like it was the first kiss
(except not so awkward LOL)
