Suddenly Seymour

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 makeup, 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, mamma 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 'til forever

Tell me the bad times are clean washed away

Please understand that it's still strange and frightening

Both 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 (the girl that's inside you)

With sweet understanding (with sweet understanding)

With sweet understanding (with sweet understanding)

Seymour is my man (Seymour is your man)
