Chaim Topol - Do You Love Me? lyrics

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 change a thing But even so After twenty-five years It's nice to know
