[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 understanding, Seymour's your friend
[AUDREY]
Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, mamma 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 till 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
[AUDREY]

[SEYMOUR, URCHINS]
“Suddenly, Seymour
He purified you
Suddenly, Seymour
