Writers: leo sayer & david courtney I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes I got up and walked away Oh, I was just a boy Nobody else to blame... Ive worked hard and failed Now all I can say is I threw it all away Oh, I was just a boy Giving it all away... Sail away, sail away, Ooh, I know better now, I know better now Giving it all away Ooh, I know better now, I know better now Ive given it all away... Went out in the world -- too much for my nerves Only myself to blame Oh, I was just a boy Nobody else to blame... Ive done all I can, now its out of my hands Stand on my head and say Oh, I was just a boy Giving it all away...
