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 feelin'll last till 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 understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man!
