Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities But I could make out as if I had it but you know God I'm so obvious and I should let it go, oh I don't know. I'm no teenage icon I'm no Frankie Avalon I'm nobody's hero Preserved and shy, your average guy No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair But I always figured I was somebody who'd wait And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late 'cause I need it 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 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
