Do You Love Me? Lyrics by Zero Mostel, Maria Karnilova

Fiddler on the Roof

1964

[TEVYE, spoken]
Golde, I've decided to give Perchik permission to become engaged to our daughter, Hodel. 
[GOLDE, spoken]
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...
(sung)
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 insidе, go lie down
Maybe it's indigestion
[TEVYE, spoken]
Goldе, I'm asking you a question
(sung)
Do you love me?
[GOLDE]
You're a fool
[TEVYE, spoken]
I know
(sung)
But do you love me?
[GOLDE]
Do I love you?
[TEVYE, spoken]
Well?
[GOLDE]
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, spoken]
Golde!
(sung)
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, spoken]
I know
(sung)
But do you love me?
[GOLDE]
Do I love him?
[TEVYE, spoken]
Well?
[GOLDE]
For twenty-five years I've lived with him
Fought with 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
[GOLDE & TEVYE]
It doesn't change a thing
But even so
After twenty-five years
It's nice to know
