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
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'm here
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
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
