Lift up your head, wash 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 make-up, don't have to pretend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
With 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!"
But suddenly, Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders, he don't condescend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me
With 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 losers like I've been, it's so hard to say
But suddenly, Seymour
Suddenly, Seymour
He purified me
He purified you
Suddenly, Seymour
Suddenly, Seymour
He showed me I can dance
Yes, you can!
Learn how to be more
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man!
