Song Lyrics

It came to pass
Like lightning striking from above
Electric flash
Just like lightning striking from above
Struck by precious love (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 (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 this 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 (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, flat tires, love
Love is precious

Joni Mitchell
