[Verse 1: Josh Dies]
Lift up your head, wipe 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 make-up, don't have to pretend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend

[Verse 2: Whitney DePaoli]
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 condescend
Suddenly, Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend

[Verse 3: Josh Dies, Whitney DePaoli]
Tell me this feeling last 'til forever
Tell me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been it's so hard to say
Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)
He purified me (he purified you)
Suddenly, Seymour (Suddenly, Seymour)
Showed me I can (yes, you can)
Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
With sweet understanding
Seymour's my man
