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...
