“Nobody’s Perfect” is a song by English singer-songwriter Jessie J from her debut studio album, Who You Are. The album version is featured on the album, but a single version was released and is slightly different from the album version with re-recorded vocals and a bit of a heavier beat.
[Verse 1]
When I'm nervous, I have this thing, yeah, I talk too much
Sometimes I just can't shut the hell up
It's like I need to tell someone
Anyone who'll listen
And that's where I seem to fuck up
Yeah, I forget about the consequences
For a minute there, I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment, my mouth starts going
The words start flowing, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learned
[Chorus]
I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
Don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody's perfect, no
[Verse 2]
If I could turn back the hands of time
I swear, I never would've crossed that line
I should've kept it between us
But, no, I went and told the whole world how I'm feeling, and oh
So I sit, and I realize
With these tears falling from my eyes
I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
I promise that I'm gonna try
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learned
[Chorus]
I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
Don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Nobody's perfect, no
[Bridge]
I'm not a saint, no, not at all
But what I did, it wasn't cool
But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, oh
I'm not a saint, no, not at all
But what I did, it wasn't cool
But I swear that I'll never do that again to you, yeah
[Chorus]
I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
Don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect, no
And I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think that the trust we had is broken
Don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect, yeah, yeah, whoa
[Outro]
Don't tell me, don't tell, don't tell me you can't forgive me
No, no, no, no
'Cause nobody's perfect, no
