[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]
