IMO somebody who has not learned from childhood mistakes , they were just a boy , when they first occurred ,small time issues ,this person went into the entertainment business ,suffering for there art ,[ too much for my nerves ] and possibly got ripped off by the business , [ Ain't gonna give it all away , repeated twice ,] becomes IVE GIVEN IT ALL AWAY , and the refrain Oh i Know better now, is ironic as they clearly have not learned there lesson .and history has repeated itself . but they were naive hence the line reinforcing this point again [ I was just a boy ]
imo i think this song could be autobiographical for many in the music industry . .
