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.
