Verse 1
I don't believe
That at night you don't think of me
One doesn't forget just because
I, every champagne that I open at the disco is for you
It seems like no, but yes, it hurt me
To see you with the jerk, that you said no
That I shouldn't worry about
And today you sleep with him
Chorus 1
Baby, you're sleeping in the wrong bed
And here I do the same thing every weekend
I don't even feel like going out with my buddies
Why did you leave? I was so happy
Baby, you're kissing the wrong lips
You're with a jerk, and I say it with respect
He's going to do the same to you, babe, don't waste time
There's no perfect guy, by the way, I'm sorry
Sorry
There's no perfect guy, by the way, I'm sorry
Verse 2
I know that I'm the first place on your list of disappointments
That with another tattoo you want to cover my name
I gave you a thousand reasons
For your friends to tell you 'Dude, don't forgive him'
But admit that you miss me, baby
And those hotel nights, when you also swore
That you would always stay with me
And it stayed, but my bed is empty
Chorus 2
Baby, you're sleeping in the wrong bed
And here I do the same thing every weekend
I don't even feel like going out with my buddies
Why did you leave? I was so happy
Baby, you're kissing the wrong lips
You're with a jerk, and I say it with respect
He's going to do the same to you, babe, don't waste time
There's no perfect guy, by the way, I'm sorry
Sorry
There's no perfect guy, by the way, I'm sorry

SONG MEANING

“NO HAY VATO PERFECTO” is a catchy Regional Mexican confession where Grupo Frontera turns a late-night banda groove into a bittersweet diary entry. The singer owns up to his flaws—“No hay vato perfecto”—yet he cannot help throwing playful shade at the new guy who has taken his place. Between champagne-fueled club nights and lonely hotel memories, he insists that his ex is “sleeping in the wrong bed” while he tries (and fails) to party the pain away. The result is a relatable tug-of-war between ego and heartbreak, pride and regret.

Listen closely and you will catch three emotions twirling like dancers on the dance floor:

  1. Regret: He admits he gave her “a thousand reasons” to leave.
  2. Jealousy: He calls her new boyfriend a pendejo, “with respect,” of course.
  3. Hope: Deep down he believes she still thinks of him when the lights go out.

Grupo Frontera wraps these raw feelings in energetic norteño-cumbia rhythms, reminding us that even sad stories can move our feet. In the end, the message is simple and universal: nobody is perfect, love is messy, and sometimes the dance continues long after the relationship ends.
