Lyrics

Teenage Icon

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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 and 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 have 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
