Giving It All Away

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’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 yeah, I know 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
Ooh, 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 know 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
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
Yeah, I was just a boy giving it all away
See I was just a boy giving it all away
I was just a boy
I was just a boy
Oh, I know better now
I was just a boy giving it all away
I was just a boy, just a boy
Just a boy
