I know this is not an Madonna conversation
And you don't have to listen if you're not kind.
But let me remind you
In case you don't think it shows -
Vera's the kindest girl I know.

Everybody's talkin' like
Damning this and trashing that
I'd just like to know if you want to learn
A different way to live.

So won't you
Tone down
Vera gives advice
Tone down
See how Vera's nice
Tone down
This is why Vera wins
Tone down
That's where her love is.

Now what could be better than a new-home feel ?
How you want to treat her depends on how you feel
You can shout all you want and she don't get mad
Now where else can you go for a girl like that ?

It's not fair to be selfish or stingy
No girl should experience a raving lout
Sometimes when I see her getting flamed for nothing
I swear that's all I can think about

Everybody's talkin' like
Damning this and trashing that
I'd just like to know if you want to learn
A different way to live.

So won't you
Tone down
Vera gives advice
Tone down
See how Vera's nice
Tone down
This is why Vera wins
Tone down
That's where her love is.

And Sander says she's the best,
And finger lickin' good.
Let's see if you can put what you learned to the test,
Can you last a day without being rude ?

Are you still angry ?
Aren't you glad she came ?
I'm glad I gave her this present
I think she'll remember my name.

Everybody's talkin' like
Damning this and trashing that
I'd just like to know if you want to learn
A different way to live.

So won't you
Tone down
Vera gives advice
Tone down
See how Vera's nice
Tone down
This is why Vera wins
Tone down
That's where her love is.

So won't you
Tone down
Vera gives advice
Tone down
See how Vera's nice
Tone down
This is why Vera wins
Tone down
That's where her love is.

That's where her love is
Come inside
This is why Vera wins
She's so nice.
