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, and Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers and 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 will 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 (Oh, oh)
Yeah, Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)
He showed me I can (Showed me, I 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
