 BIG YELLOW TAXI
 
(COUNTING CROWS featuring Vanessa Carlton)
 
 
 
 
 
 

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

They took all the , and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the  a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it  seem to go
That you don't  what you've got till it's gone
They paved , and put up a parking lot

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

Listen, late  night, I heard the screen door sway
And a big  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  and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved  to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They 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 givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it

Cuz you're givin it all away, no no

I don't  give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Cuz you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah
Cuz You're givin it all away
