Big Yellow Taxi

Текст песни Vanessa Carlton and Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi

[Verse 1: Adam]
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

[Hook: Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]
They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no

[Chorus: Adam]
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

[Hook: Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Verse 2: 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
[Chorus: Adam]
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

[Hook: Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Musical Interlude]

[Bridge: Adam]
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

[Chorus: Adam]
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 na na, 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
[Hook: Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Bridge - Adam & Vanessa]
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna give it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away

[Outro - Vanessa & Adam]
Why do you want me?
Why do you want to?
Cos' you're givin it all away
Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot
