Leo Sayer Giving It All Away song lyrics

Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes

I got up and walked away

oh, I was just a boy

nobody else to blame...

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, 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...
