Lyrics
I met a guy in high school hangin' out with him was a scene
He was a quarterback, got straight A's, and was sleepin' with the home coming queen
I never thought I guy like that could fail
I heard he got busted for insider trading and landed in Jail
As they lead him away he said
'Nobody's Perfect I confess'
Every now and then when get ourselves into a mess
We all make mistakes some times
Drop the ball, say the wrong thing, spill the wine
See that girl she's an angel in white
She's brilliant and pretty, can cook and do everything right
But there's somethin' 'bout that girl no one knows
She disappears every Friday night
Where she goes nobody know
Nobody's Perfect, people are strange
Nobody's perfect and that something we can't change
From time to time we all get loose
But sayin' 'Nobody's Perfect' aint really an excuse
I won't be sittin' here riddled with guilt
When there's nothin' we can do about it
It's just the way we're built
Nobody's Perfect we're all flawed
Even you and I, we're a little odd
