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 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 
Mama was poor
I need a man, and I'd 
Follow him blindly
He'd snap he fingers and 
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 
Lasts 'til forever 
Tell me the bad times 
Are clean, washed away! 
Please understand that 
It's still strange and frightening
For loosers like I've been 
It's so hard to say... 

Suddenly, Seymour
He purified me
Suddenly, Seymour
Showed me I can! 
Learn how to be more! 
The girl that's inside (you/me)
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding 
With sweet understanding 
Seymour's (your/my) man
