Counting Crows – Big yellow taxi Lyric

aus dem Album Hard Candy

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 '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 till it's gone
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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 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 ssem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone
they paved paradise to put up a parking lot

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 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're giving it all away no no
I don't wanna give it why you wanna give it
why you wanna giving it all away
girl you're giving it all giving it all away

Why you wanna why do you want to
you're giving it all away
hey paved paradise to put up a parking lot
