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!
