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 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, 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.
