Nobody’s Perfect Lyrics

It must be hard being an angel
When the devil in your heart won't set you free
It must be hard being an angel
When the world has let you down
Imperfection all around

Hey, look at me
It must be hard
It must be hard
It must be hard

Nobody's perfect all of the time
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason and no perfect rhyme
For most of the time, that's what we're looking for

Gentlemen, gentlemen please!
Can you please support the notion of what I'm saying here
That the person here in question must be an angel here on earth
If they can't see a human being for what a human being's really worth
Oh, gentlemen please!

Nobody's perfect all of the time
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason and no perfect rhyme
For most of the time, that's what we're looking for
Nobody's perfect all of the time
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason and no perfect rhyme
All of the time, that's what we're looking for
That's what we're searching for

[Guitar Solo]

It must be hard being an angel
It must be hard when the world has let you down
It must be hard being an angel
It must be hard

Nobody's perfect all of the time
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason, no perfect rhyme
All of the time, that's what we're looking for

Nobody's perfect all of the time
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
No perfect reason and no perfect rhyme
All of the time, that's what we're looking for

Nobody's perfect all of the time (Nobody's perfect)
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason and no perfect rhyme
For most of the time, that's what we're looking for
Nobody's perfect all of the time (Nobody's perfect)
Nobody's perfect, we are what we are
You know there's no perfect reason and no perfect rhyme

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 [?]
