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 f**king lot

The story:

I first heard this song on the radio. I was shocked and astonished that they could use that kind of language on the radio. They had just redone the laws surrounding language on the radio, but surely they didn't go THAT far. Well, I'd sing it anyway. I'd sing it as loudly as I could (just like I do with any song), and after I sang that, my friend just started laughing and lauging. He wouldn't tell me what was up until after the song was over, which was after I sang the words about five or six more times.
