Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton - Big yellow taxi lyrics

Your rating:

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to see them
No, no, don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don’t care ‘bout spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now, don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you got till it’s gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey, hey, hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don’t wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
‘Cause you giving it all away
Now, now
I don’t wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
‘Cause you giving it all
Giving it all away

‘Cause she’s giving it all away
Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Paved paradise and put up a parking lot
