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...
