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
Now now now, 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, 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 till 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 till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Why not,
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
Hey, hey, hey, 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
‘Cos you’re givin’ it all away

Now now I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
‘Cos you’re givin it all, givin it all away,
Yeah,yeah

‘Cos you’re givin it all away
hey, hey, hey

Hey, paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

La,la,la,la,la,la,da,da,la,la,la,la

Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
