I'm a self sufficient man
I take care of my own needs
I'm a self sufficient man
I take care of my own needs
I don't need you or your friends
I ain't no dog you can lead

Been takin' care of myself
Since I wes 13 years old
Been takin' care of myself
Since I wes 13 years old
That book ain't been wrote
That my story it could hold

While you been home safe and sound
I been wanderin' the world around
I seen and done more things
Than you could imagine
In your wildest dreams
So don't you point your finger at me
In your ignorant disbelief
I'm the original man of the world
And I'm comin' down your street
Better watch out for me
Yeah you better watch out for me
You got somethin' to say to me
Say it to my face next time we meet

You got somethin' to say to me
Say it to my face next time we meet

Yeah you better watch out for me

You got somethin' to say to me
Say it to my face next time we meet
You got somethin' to say to me
Say it to my face
Say it to my face
Say it to my face
Say it to my face next time we meet
