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 standin' 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





AUDREY

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 standin' 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





SEYMOUR

Tell me this feelin'll last till forever

Tell me the bad times are clean washed away

Please understand that it's still strange and fright'nin'

For losers like I've been it's so hard to say





AUDREY

Suddenly Seymour,

He purified me

Suddenly Seymour -

He showed me I can

Learn how to be more

The girl that's inside me

With sweet understanding,

With sweet understanding,

With sweet understanding,

Seymour's my man!





SEYMOUR (overlapping with above)

Suddenly, Seymour,

He purifies you

Suddenly, Seymour -

Yes, you can

Learn how to be more

The girl that's inside you

With sweet understanding,

With sweet understanding,

With sweet understanding,

Seymour's your man!
