[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

Tell me this feelin'll last till forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away

[Audrey]
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, Audrey and Company]
Suddenly Seymour,
He purified 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
