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 know
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, well I
know better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Ooh, well I know
better now
I know better now
Giving 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, well I know
better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Ooh, well I know
better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Ooh, well I know
better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Ooh, well I know
better now
I know better now
giving it all away
Just a boy
giving it all away
Just a boy
giving it all away
I was just a boy
giving it all away
Just a boy
