Lyrics
[verse]
I tried on three shirts and still walked out mismatched
Answered a question wrong, whole class caught it, snatched
I tripped on the stairs going up to the stage
Turned bright red like I aged a whole age
But I laughed it off and kept my chin up high
'Cause mistakes aren't the reason to say goodbye
[chorus]
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 that's alright, that's alright
So what if I trip, so what if I fumble
I'll dust myself off, I won't crumble
Nobody's perfect, but I'm gonna keep trying tonight
[verse]
I messed up the lyrics in front of the whole class
Forgot my locker code, showed up late to math
But every stumble's just another try
A chance to laugh and wonder why I even worry
Perfect's overrated, real is underrated
I'll take the mess over the fake and jaded
[chorus]
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 that's alright, that's alright
So what if I trip, so what if I fumble
I'll dust myself off, I won't crumble
Nobody's perfect, but I'm gonna keep trying tonight
[bridge]
Everybody's got a story of a fall
Everybody's tripped in the hall
But we get up, we brush it off
We keep going even when they scoff
[chorus]
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 that's alright, that's alright
So what if I trip, so what if I fumble
I'll dust myself off, I won't crumble
Nobody's perfect, but I'm gonna keep trying tonight
