Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink motel, boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don`t it always seem to go
That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, put `em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to seem them
Don`t it always seem to go
Said you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Say hey farmer, farmer put away the DDT now
And the 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 till it`s gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Late last night I heard that screen door slam
And the big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don`t it always seem to go
but you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Don`t it always seem to go
You don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
