"It Isn't Perfect But It Might Be" lyrics
(from "Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy" soundtrack)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la (Mm)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
There's a lot of ground to cover
One foot and then the other
On my way, my way to somewhere new
A few false starts, can you forgive this
Cautious heart and just bear with it
While it does what I thought it couldn't do
I could go back to the old place (Mm)
And write your name on every blank page (Mm)
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me (Mm)
That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la (Mm)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
You dip your toe and then you paddle
All before you swim the channel
Thought I'd never make it, but I might
Oh, I could go back to the old place (Mm)
And write your name on every blank page (Mm)
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me (Mm)
That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Mm (Mm)
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be, it just might be
Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
Is the kind of thing that you'd say
That there's no need to look behind me (Mm)
That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be, yeah
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Like it might be, yeah (Mm)
Like it might be (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la)
Woo-hoo, mm
Ooh
Might be, might be, might be
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
There's a lot of ground to cover
One foot and then the other
On my way, my way to somewhere new
A few false starts, can you forgive this
Cautious heart and just bear with it
While it does what I thought it couldn't do
I could go back to the old place (Mm)
And write your name on every blank page (Mm)
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me (Mm)
That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la (Mm)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
You dip your toe and then you paddle
All before you swim the channel
Thought I'd never make it, but I might
Oh, I could go back to the old place (Mm)
And write your name on every blank page (Mm)
But it's a story now, just a story now
That's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me (Mm)
That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Mm (Mm)
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be, it just might be
Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
Is the kind of thing that you'd say

That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Like it might be, yeah (Mm)
Like it might be (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la)
Woo-hoo, mm
Ooh
Might be, might be, might be
