Counting Crows - Big yellow taxi letra de canción

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

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

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?

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

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
'Cos you giving it all away
Hey, hey, givin' it all,
givin' it all....away

Why do you want me?
why do you want me?

'Cos you're givin' it all away,
Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot
