I could say it's all her fault She never had any patience at all I'm a complicated guy And she didn't try to understand I could claim I had nothing to do With the fact I'm lonesome and blue But that wouldn't be true I'm a self made man Yeah I'm the one that fooled around And let the one who loved me down She had more of me than she could stand I blamed everyone but me But now that it's too late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man I could blame it on the way I was raised Or I could say I was just to afraid To lay my heart in somebody else's hands I could always make one more excuse But in the end what's the use I might as well face I'm a self made man Yeah I'm the one that fooled around And let the one who loved me down She had more of me than she could stand I blamed everyone but me But now that it's too late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man Oh I blamed everyone but me But now that its to late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man Self made man Self made man I can't blame anybody but me
