Giving It All Away - Leo Sayer

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.

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

I’ve 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…

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, 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…
