Lyrics: Giving It All Away
Album: Just A Boy
Artist: Leo Sayer
 

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…
