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
