Lift Your Head
Wash off your mascara
Here take my Kleenex
Wipe that lipstick away
Show me the 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 make-up
Don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour
Is here to provide you
Sweet understanding
Seymour's your friend
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 at 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
Tell me this feeling
Will last til forever
Tell me the bad times
Are clean washed away
Please unserstand that
It's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been
It's so hard to save
Suddenly Seymour
He purified me
He purified you
Suddenly Seymour
Showed me I can
Yes, You can
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding
Seymour's your man
