Counting Crows: Big Yellow Taxi (Featuring 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

[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop (Why not?)
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now 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 now, 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]
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey

[Vanessa]
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna give it all away

[Adam, Vanessa]
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey

[Vanessa]
Why you want it?
Why you want it? (Cuz you're giving it all away)
