Claude Kelly
Nobody’s Perfect (Alternate Version)
[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, yeah
For a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment
My mouth starts going, the words start flowing, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I never meant to hurt you
I know it's time that I learned 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
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect
[Verse 2]
If I could turn back the hands of time
I swear I never woulda cross that line
I should have kept it between us
But no, I went and told the whole world how I feelin', 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 learn 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
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nobody's perfect
[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
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
[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
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect, no
[Chorus]
And I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
'Cause I'm the one that's hurting, yeah
And I hate that I made you think
That the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
'Cause nobody's perfect, yeah yeah, oh
[Outro]
Don't tell me, don't tell
Don't tell me, you can't forgive, no, no, no
Because nobody's perfect, no
