Counting Crows They Paved Paradise Lyrics

They Paved Paradise Lyrics

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' 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 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
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, 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 till
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 till it's gone
They
paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Well now, they 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
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna givin it all away

Hey,
paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Paved paradise, and put up a parking
lot
