  • 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 starts going the words start flowing, ohh

    But I never meant to hurt you
    I know it's time that I learned to
    Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved, be loved

    I wanna be loved
    'Cause nobody's perfect

    I wanna be loved
    'Cause nobody's perfect

    I wanna be loved

    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
    'Cause nobody's perfect, no

    If I could turn back the hands of time
    I swear I never woulda cross that line
    I should of kept it between us
    But Jessie went and told the whole world how she's feelin', ohh
    So I sit and I realize with these tears falling from my eyes
    I gotta change if I wanna keep you forever
    I promise that I'm gonna try

    But I never meant to hurt you
    I know it's time that I learn to
    Treat the people I love like I wanna be loved
    This is a lesson learned
    And 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

    Hate that I let you down (let you down)
    And I feel so bad about it (I feel so bad)
    I guess karma comes back around (it comes back around)
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting (yeah)
    And I hate that I made you think (I hate that I made you think)
    That the trust we have is broken (b-b-b-b-broken)
    So don't tell me you can't forgive me
    'Cause nobody's perfect (woo)

    Hate that I let you down (let you down)
    And I feel so bad about it (I feel so bad)
    I guess karma comes back around
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting (yeah)
    And I hate that I made you think (yeah)
    That the trust we have is broken (yeah)
    So don't tell me you can't forgive me (yeah)
    'Cause nobody's perfect (yeah)

    I wanna be loved
    'Cause nobody's perfect

    I wanna be loved

    No, no, no-no-no, no, no
    No-no-no, no, no
    No-no-no-no, nobody's perfect

    No, no, no-no-no, no, no
    No-no-no, no, no
    No-no-no-no, nobody's perfect, no

    Hate that I let you down (let you down)
    And I feel so bad about it (I feel so bad)
    I guess karma comes back around (it comes back around)
    'Cause now I'm the one that's hurting (yeah)
    And I hate that I made you think (I hate that I made you think)
    That the trust we have is broken (b-b-b-b-broken)
    So don't tell me you can't forgive me
