Teenage Icon

Oh look at me, so ordinary

No mystery with no great capabilities

But I could make out as if I had it but you'd know

God, I'm so obvious and I should let it go

Oh I don't know, oh

I'm no teenage icon

I'm no Frankie Avalon

I'm nobody's hero

Reserved and shy, your average guy

No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair but

I always figured I was somebody in wait

And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late

'Cause I need her, oh

I'm no teenage icon

I'm no Frankie Avalon

I'm nobody's hero

I'm not magnetic or mythical

I'm suburban and typical

But I got it, I got it

I'm overrun with it all

Seductive charm, a way with words

So effortless, not leather clad or dangerous but

I always did it like a real rebel would

I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood

Or so I'm told, oh

I'm no teenage icon

I'm no Frankie Avalon

I'm nobody's hero

I'm no teenage icon

I'm no Frankie Avalon

I'm nobody's hero
