Lift up your head
Wash off your mascara
Here, take my cleanex
Wipe that lipstick away.
Show me your face
As 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
You don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding.
Seymour's your friend
Nobody ever
Treated me kindly
Father left early,
Mama was poor
I'd meet a man and i'd
Follow him blindly.
He's 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 feelin'
Last for forever
Tell me the bad times
Are clean washed away
Please understand
That it's still strange and frightenin'
For losers like i am
It 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
Sweet understanding
Sweet understanding
Sweet understanding
Sweet undrstanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend
