Giving It All Away

Paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes,

Got up and walked away.

Oh, I was just a boy,

I didn't know 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, and I know better now, I know better now

Giving it all away

Ooh, and 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, and I know better now, I know better now

Giving it all away

Ooh, and I know better now, I know better now

Given it all away...
