[SEYMOUR]
Lift up your head, wash off your mascara
Here, take my Kleenex, wipe that lipstick away
Show me your face as clean as the mornin'
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
Father 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 condescend
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 frightening
For losers like I've been, it's so hard to say

(the following lyrics are sung in between and above each other)

[SEYMOUR & Chorus]
Suddenly, Seymour
He purified you
Suddenly, Seymour
Yes, you can be more
The girl that's inside you
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man

[AUDREY]
Suddenly, Seymour
He purified me
Suddenly, Seymour
Showed me I can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me

[SEYMOUR]
With sweet understanding
[AUDREY]
With sweet understanding

[SEYMOUR]
With sweet understanding

[AUDREY]
With sweet understanding

[SEYMOUR & AUDREY]
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my/your man
