A SELF-MADE MAN Lyrics

Artist: Tom Petty
Album: Let Me Up I've Had Enough

If he don't wanna talk
Leave him alone
If he don't wanna talk
Leave him alone
He's a self-made man, he did it on his own

Now some folks say there' s a dangerous side
Some folks say he's got a danger side
He's a self-made man, he knows about pride

So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

Some folks say it was a woman he knew
So me folks say it was a woman he knew
He's a self-made man, he knows how to lose

So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

The self-made man made his own cage of loss from pride, silence and danger. Opening up to love is scary.
