Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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, ooh 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, ooh 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 over on with it all Seductive, charming 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, ooh 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
