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,
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...
