"Suddenly Seymour"
Lift up your head
Brush off your mascara
Here take my Kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face
Clean as the morning
I know things were bad
But now they're okay
Suddenly Seymour
Is standing 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 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 till forever
Tell me the bad times
Are clean washed away
Please understand
That it's too strange and frightening
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to say
Suddenly Seymour (suddenly Seymour)
He purified me (he purified you)
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 (sweet understanding)
With sweet understanding (with sweet understanding)
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your (my) man
