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 standin' beside you
You don't need no makeup
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'd meet a man
and I'd follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers
Me I'd say sure
Suddenly Seymour
is standin' beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour
is here to provide me
Sweet understandin'
Seymour's my friend
Tell me this feelin'll
last 'til forever
Tell me the bad times
are clean washed away
Please understand that it's
still strange and fright'nin'
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to say
Suddenly Seymour
he purified me
Suddenly Seymour
he showed me I can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understandin'
Seymour's my man
