Suddenly Seymour
[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 standing beside you
You don't need no makeup, don't have to pretend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understandin’; 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 understandin’; Seymour's my friend

[SEYMOUR]
Tell me this feeling lasts till 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

Suddenly, Seymour

[SEYMOUR, CRYSTAL, CHIFFON, & RONETTE]

[AUDREY]
He purified me

[SEYMOUR, CRYSTAL, CHIFFON, & RONETTE]
He purified you

Yes, you can
[AUDREY]
Learn how to be more

[SEYMOUR, CRYSTAL, CHIFFON, & RONETTE]

[AUDREY/SEYMOUR, CRYSTAL, CHIFFON, & RONETTE]
The girl that’s inside me / The girl that's inside you
