You Dream Flat Tires - Joni Mitchell

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)
