They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a botique, and a swinging hot spot Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve 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 then they charged all the people twenty-five bucks just to see `em Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don`t it always seem to go That you don`t know what you`ve got till it`s gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
