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 it's too 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
