"Suddenly Seymour" Lyrics

[SEYMOUR]
Lift up your head
Wash 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

[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 standing beside me
He don't give me orders
He don't condesend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide me
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my friend

[SEYMOUR]
Tell me this feeling
Lasts til forever
Tell me the bad times
are clean, washed away

[AUDREY]
Please understand that it's
Still strange and frightenin'
For losers like i've been
It's so hard to say...

[AUDREY]
Suddenly Seymour

[SEYMOUR AND DOWNTOWN GIRLS]
(Suddenly Seymour)

[AUDREY]
He purified me

[SEYMOUR AND DOWNTOWN GIRLS]
(He purified you)

[AUDREY]
Suddenly Seymour

[SEYMOUR AND DOWNTOWN GIRLS]
(Suddenly Seymour)

[AUDREY]
Showed me I can

[SEYMOUR AND DOWNTOWN GIRLS]
(Yes you can!)

[ALL]
Learn how to be more

[AUDREY]
The girl that's inside me

[SEYMOUR AND DOWNTOWN GIRLS]
OOH, OOH, OOH

[SEYMOUR]
With sweet understanding

[AUDREY]
With sweet understanding

[SEYMOUR]
With sweet understanding

[AUDREY]
With sweet understanding

[ALL]
Sweet understanding
Seymour's my (your)
MAN!
