You Dream Flat Tires Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

It came to pass 

Like lightening striking from above 

Electric flash 

Just like lightening striking from above 

Struck by precious love 

Precious, precious love 

So hopeless and so inspired 

Why do you dream flat tires 

When you dream flat tires? 

You dream flat tires 

With a jack and a spare you're there 

Trying to get to where love is 

Coming in on a wing and a prayer 

Trying to get to where love is 

'Cause love is precious love 

You said it was precious 

When first you felt my fire 

Before you dreamed flat tires 

You dreamed flat tires 

You dream flat tires 

"Woman she bounce back easy 

But a man could break both his legs" 

Are you telling me that to tease me? 

Or just to hear me beg 

"Please don't go!" 

Cause I know that you love me 

But, when are you going to let love be 

Just a vague flirtation 

Or extra special company? 

'Cause love is precious love 

Everybody knows it's precious 

When first they feel that fire 

Before they dream flat tires 

They dream flat tires 

They dream flat tires 

"Woman she bounce back easy 

But a man could break both his legs" 

Do you tell me that to tease me 

Or just to hear me beg 

"Please don't be cold" 

I know that you love me 

But, what are you going to let love do? 

(Flat tires, love, love is precious, flat tires, 

love, love is precious, flat tires, love, 

love is precious)
