Nobody's Perfect
Hannah Montana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
One, two, three, four!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days (oh yeah)
Everybody knows what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way (that's right)
Everybody makes mistakes (uh huh)
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody gets that way (yeah)

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'll figure out a cure
I'm patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows
If I'm not doin' too well
Why be so hard on myself?

Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again till I get it right
Nobody's perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I'm messing up sometimes (hey)
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I work a scheme
But then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned
Get stuck in quick sand
No problem, can be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it
My intentions are good, yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes just misunderstood

Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it! (work it!)
Again and again till I get it right (that's right)
Nobody's perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I'm messing up sometimes

Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it! (come on)
I know in time I'll find a way (oh)
Nobody's perfect!

Sometimes I fix things up
And they fall apart again
Nobody's perfect

I know I mix things up
But I always get it right in the end
You know what I do

Next time you feel like (feel like)
It's just one of those days (one of those days)
When you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you plan (if things don't turn out the way you plan)
Figure something else out! (figure something else out!)
Don't stay down! (Don't stay down!)
Try again! (Try again!)
Yeah!

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

Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it! (work it!)
Again and again till I get it right!
Nobody's perfect!
Ya live and ya learn it!
And if I'm messing up sometimes
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!
Nobody's perfect





Nobody's perfect!
No, no, nobody's perfect!
