Lyrics:

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
