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 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 my man
