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 make-up, don't have to pretend

Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you

Sweet understandin' Seymour's your friend

Nobody ever treated me kindly

Daddy left early, and Mama was poor

I'd meet a man and I'd follow him blindly

He'd snap his fingers and 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 '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)

Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)

He purified me (Oh, oh)

Yeah, Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)

He showed me I can (Showed me, I can)

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 under-

Standing

Seymour's your man
