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
