Idols 2 - Big Yellow Taxi

Counting Crows (Featuring Vanessa Carlton)- Big Yellow Taxi door Eric


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
And you don't know what you got 'til its 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 seem them

Don't it always seem to go,
And you don't know what you got
'til its 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
And you don't know what you got
'til its 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 seem to go
That you don't know what you got
'til its 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
To put up a parking lot

hey, hey, hey,
paved paradise
and put up a parking lot

(ooh, bap-bap-bap)
(ooh, bap-bap-pap)

I don't want give it-
Why you want give it,
Why you want give it all away?
Hey hey hey
Now you want give it,
Ah she wanna give it
'cause she's giving it all away
Now now now

I don't want give it-
Why you want give it,
Why you want give it all away?
Giving it all, giving it all, away

Why you want it?
Why do you want it?
She giving it all away, hey, hey, hey
