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]

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
|

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
|

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
|
