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, for a minute there I lose my senses
And in the heat of the moment
My mouth's starts going the words start flowing
But I never meant to hurt you,
I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love
Like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learnt, 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
If I could turn back the hands of time
I swear I never wanna cross that line
I should have kept it between us but no
I went and told the whole world how I feel and oh
So I sit and I realise with these tears falling from my eyes
I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
Promise that I'm gonna try [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jessie_j/nobodys_perfect.html ]
But I never meant to hurt you,
I know it's time that I learnt to
Treat the people I love
Like I wanna be loved
This is a lesson learnt, 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
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.
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
That the trust we had is broken
So don't tell me you can't forgive me
Cause nobody's perfect, no
And I hate that I let you down
And I feel so bad about it
I guess karma comes back around
And 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
Don't tell me, don't tell me no, no
You cant forgive
No
Because nobody's perfect
Nobody is perfect. How true. Despite the valid message, one wonders exactly what jessie j (well, the songwriters) did to hurt this person so much. Could be cheating. “the trust is broken” line seems all too familiar to those who commit infidelity. And ultimately, what goes around comes around. The hurt that jessie j inflicted on an apparent love interest inevitably came back around to her, and in the end, she also suffers.
However, it could be something less serious, as implied in the verses. She seems to have told a secret to someone she shouldn’t have, and the person she’s singing to is pissed. This is something anyone can relate to, be it a mature adult or a 10-year-old. We all have the potential to let our friends down. The chorus though is what i take issue with. Jessie j argues that because nobody is perfect, and because of this, the person should be able to forgive her. The forgiveness, like it or not, isn’t up to her. What is forgivable to one person may be unforgivable to another. Regardless, the sentiment is real and the lyrics are self aware and reflective - kudos to the songwriters!
We all, at some point, do something we will regret. I am no better than you and you are no better than me. We are all created equal, but we are still not perfect.

I think this story is about a person being bullied or trying to change and maybe went through something they might want to go back and change!

It means nobody's perfect, everyone if the same and it means also if you done treat people that you love then thhey wont treat you the same and it also means that you should be who you are instead of being someone your not meant to be
It shows that you carnt be perfrect in life when people think you have to

This is about a couple and one of them ends up doing something that causes the other to hurt and heart to break. Perhaps they cheated or whatever the case maybe but the one who did wrong has lost the other affection and trust. So they are trying apologize and they the other they will never hurt them again if only they get a second chance because ultimately nobody's perfect and we all make a mistake or two.
