You Dream Flat Tires

It came to pass
Like lightning striking from above
Electric flash
Just like lightning 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 rim and a prayer
Trying to get to where love is
Love is precious
You said it was precious love
When first you felt my fire
Before you dreamed flat tires
You dreamed flat tires
You dream flat tires
<i>“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 go!”</i>
’Cause I know that you love me
But what are you going to let love be?
Just a vague flirtation
Or extra special company?
Love is precious
Everybody knows it’s precious
When first they felt that fire
Before they dream flat tires
They dream flat tires
They dream flat tires
<i>“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>
’Cause 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)
