(jay knowles/wynn varble)
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
