Lift up your head
Wipe off that mascara
Here take my Kleenex
Wipe your lipstick away
Show me your face
As clean as the morning
I know things were bad
But now they're OK
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 understanding
Seymour's your friend
Nobody ever
Treated me kindly
Daddy left early
Momma was poor
I'd meet a man
And 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 these feelings
Will last ?til forever
Show 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 hard to say
Suddenly Seymour
Suddenly Seymour
He purified me
Suddenly Seymour
Suddenly Seymour
Showed me I can
Yes you can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me/you
With sweet understanding
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understanding
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my/your man SEYMOUR:
