Do You Love Me Lyrics

Do You Love Me lyrics

Tevye: Do you love me?

Golde: Do I what?

Tevye: Do you love me?

Golde: Do I love you?

           With our daughters getting married and this trouble in the town,

           You're upset. You want out. Go inside. Go lie down.

           Maybe it's indigestion.



Tevye: Golde, I'm asking you a question. Do you love me?

Golde: You're a fool!

Tevye: I know. But do you love me?

Golde: Do I love you?

           For twenty-five years, I've washed your clothes,

           Cooked your meals, cleaned your house,           

           Given you children, milked the cow.

           After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now? 



Tevye:  The first time I met you was on our wedding day. I was scared.

Golde:  I was shy.

Tevye:  I was nervous.

Golde: So was I.

Tevye: But my father and my father said we'd learn to love each other.

          So, now I'm asking, Golde...



Tevye: Do you love me?

Golde: I'm your wife!

Tevye: I know. But do you love me?

Golde: Do I love him?

           For twenty-five years, I've lived with him,

           Fought with him, starved with him.

           For twenty-five years, my bed is his.

           If that's not love, what is?

Tevye:  Then you love me?

Golde:  I suppose I do.

Tevye:  And I suppose I love you, too.



Together: It doesn't change a thing, but even so,

               After twenty-five years, it's nice to know
