Leo Sayer - Giving It All Away Lyrics

I paid all my dues
So I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I didn't know how to play
I've 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, well I know better now,
I know better now
Giving it all away
Oh oh, I now better now,
I know better now
I've given it all away
Went out in the world
Too much for my nerves
Well, only myself to blame
See, I was just a boy
And there was nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, yeah sail away
Oh, I know better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Oh oh, yeah yeah, I now better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
I've given it all away
See I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Oh, I know better now
Giving it all away
I was just a boy

I paid all my dues
So I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I didn't know how to play
I've 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, well I know better now,
I know better now
Giving it all away
Oh oh, I now better now,
I know better now
I've given it all away
Went out in the world
Too much for my nerves
Well, only myself to blame
See, I was just a boy
And there was nobody else to blame
I've done all I can
Now it's out of my hands
Stand on my head and say
Oh, I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Sail away, yeah sail away
Oh, I know better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Oh oh, yeah yeah, I now better now,
I know better now
Ain't gonna give it all away
Ooh, I know better now
I know better now
I've given it all away
See I was just a boy
Giving it all away
I was just a boy
Giving it all away
Oh, I know better now
Giving it all away
I was just a boy
