  • 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.. Writer/s: DAVID ALEXANDER COURTNEY, LEO SAYER
