They paved paradise
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
That you don't know what you've got
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the DDT
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Leave me the birds and the bees
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
That you don't know what you've got
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
To put up a parking lot
Listenin' late last night
Listenin' late last night
I heard the screen door slam
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
And a big yellow taxi
Took my girl away
Take my girl away
Now, don't it always seem to go
Now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
That you don't know what you've got
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
And put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got
That you don't know what you got
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
To put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
To put up a parking lot
Paved paradise
Paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
To put up a parking lot
I don't want give it
I don't want to give it
Why you want give
Why you want to give
Why you want give it all away?
Why do you want to give it all away?
Now you want give it
Now you want to give it

Cause she givin' it all away
Cause she givin' it all away
I don't want give it
I don't want to give it
Why you want give

Why you want give it all away?
Why do you want to give it all away?
Giving it all, giving it all away
Giving it all, giving it all away
Why you want it?
Why do you want it?
Why do you want it?
Why do you want it?
Hey pave paradise
Hey pave paradise
Put up a parking lot
Put up a parking lot
