Big Yellow Taxi (featuring Vanessa Carlton)

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique

And a swinging hot spotDon't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got til its gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lotThey took all the trees

And put 'em in a tree museum

And they charged the people

A dollar and a half to seem 'emNo no no

Don't it always seem to go,

That you don't know what you've got

Til its gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lotHey farmer farmer

Put away the DDT

I don't care about 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've got

Til its gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

Hey, now they paved paradise

To put up a parking lot

Why not?Listenin' 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've got

Til its gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lotHey now, now

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got

Til its gone

They paved paradise

To put up a parking lot

Why not?

They paved paradise

To put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey

Paved paradise

To put up a parking lotI don't want give it

Why you want give,

Why you want give it all away?

Hey hey hey

Now you want give it,

Ah she want to give it

Cause she givin' it all away

Now now nowI don't want give it

Why you want give,

Why you want give it all away?

Giving it all, giving it all awayWhy you want it?

Why do you want it? (She's giving it all away)Hey pave paradise

Put up a parking lot
