Lift up your head; dry 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 will last till forever
Tell me the bad times are cleaned washed away
Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been it's so hard to say

Suddenly Seymour, he purified me
Suddenly Seymour showed me I can
Learn how to be more the girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my man
