COUNTING CROWS lyrics : "Big Yellow Taxi"

(feat. Vanessa Carlton)
[Adam Duritz]
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa Carlton]

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop


[Adam]
They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop


[Adam]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your 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 got 'til 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?

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop


[Adam]
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til 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

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop


[Adam, Vanessa]
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

Now you wanna giving it all away

Why you wanna giving it all away

Hey, hey, hey

[Vanessa]
