Nobody’s Perfect Lyrics

[Intro]
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days

One, two, three, four!

[Refrain]
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days (Oh yeah)
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way (That's right)
Everybody makes mistakes (Uh huh)
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way, yeah

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm in a jam, I've gotta make a plan
It might be crazy, I do it anyway
No way to know for sure, I figure out a cure
I'm patching up the holes, but then it overflows

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm not doing too well
Why be so hard on myself?

[Chorus]
Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it
Again and again, 'til I get it right
Nobody's perfect, you live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes (hey)
Nobody's perfect
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I work a scheme, but then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned, gets stuck in quicksand
But no problem can't be solved once I get involved
I try to be delicate, then crash right into it

[Pre-Chorus]
But my intentions are good (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sometimes just misunderstood

[Chorus]
Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it (Work it)
Again and again, 'til I get it right (That's right)
Nobody's perfect, you live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes (Oh)
Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it (C'mon)
I know in time I'll find a way (Oh)
Nobody's perfect

[Bridge]
Sometimes I fix things up, and they fall apart again
(Nobody's perfect)
I might mix things up, but I always get it right in the end
(You know I do)

[Spoken Interlude]
Next time you feel like it's just one of those days
When you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you planned
Figure something else out, don't stay down, try again
Yeah

[Refrain]
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days (That's right)
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way
Everybody makes mistakes (Here we go)
Everybody has those days (Uh huh)
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way

[Chorus]
Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it (Work it)
Again and again, 'til I get it right
Nobody's perfect, you live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes
Oh, nobody's perfect, I gotta work it
I know in time I'll find a way
Nobody's perfect, you live and you learn it
'Cause everybody makes mistakes (Oh)
Nobody's perfect (Nobody's perfect)

[Outro]
No, no
Nobody's perfect

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
