Do You Love Me? Lyrics - Fiddler On The Roof - Jerry Bock

(Tevye) 

"Golde, I have decided to give Perchik permission to become engaged to our daughter, Hodel." 

(Golde) 

"What??? He's poor! He has nothing, absolutely nothing!" 

(Tevye) 

"He's a good man, Golde. 

I like him. And what's more important, Hodel likes him. Hodel loves him. 

So what can we do? 

It's a new world... A new world. Love. Golde..." 

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're worn 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) 

Golde, 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 mother 

Said we'd learn to love each other 

And now I'm asking, Golde 

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 him, starved with him 

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 

(Both) 

It doesn't change a thing 

But even so 

After twenty-five years 

It's nice to know
