Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here take my Kleenex wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face clean as the mornin'
I know things were bad but now they're okay
Suddenly Seymour is standing beside you
You don't need no make up don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understandin' Seymour's your friend
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers me I'd say sure
Suddenly Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders he don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding Seymour's my friend
Tell me this feeling last 'til forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been it's so hard to say
Suddenly Seymour
Suddenly Seymour
He purified me
He purified you
Suddenly Seymour
Suddenly Seymour
Showed me I can
Yes you can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man
