BIG YELLOW TAXI (TWO WEEKS NOTICE, 2002)

“Please don't tell me you called me out of a wedding
to pick out a suit.” – Lucy Kelson

Sandra Bullock plays the neurotic lawyer Lucy Kelson who’s at odds with her own client, the cocky millionaire George Wade (Hugh Grant). One of Sandra Bullock's signature romcom style. Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton provided their version of Big Yellow Taxi.


BIG YELLOW TAXI
sung by: Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton

Adam Duritz:

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:
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:
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

Vanessa:
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

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
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 now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Vanessa:
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:
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
Why not?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Vanessa:
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop

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 giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it

Hey, hey, givin it all, givin it all....away

Vanessa:
Why do you want me?
