Giving It All Away

Written by Leo Sayer, David Courtney

Lyrics

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes
I got up and walked away
Oh, I was just a boy
I didn't no how to play

Worked hard and failed
Now all I can say is
I threw it all away
Ooh, 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
I've given it all away

Went out in the world too much for my nerves
only myself to blame.
Ooh, I was just a boy
Nobody else to blame

I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands
stand on my head and say
Ooh, 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
Given it all away
