Lyrics

[Intro]
Golde
Golde, he's a good man
I like him
He's a little crazy, but I like him
And, uh
What's more important
Hodel likes him
Hodel loves him
So what can we do?
It's a new world, Golde
A new world
Love
Golde
[Chorus]
Do you love me?
Do I what?
Do you love me?
Do I love you?
Well?
[Verse 1]
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
Ah no, Golde, I'm asking you a question!
[Chorus]
Do you love me?
You're a fool!
I know
But do you love me?
Do I love you?
Well?
[Verse 2]
For twenty-five years, I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked your cow
After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?
[Bridge]
Golde
The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day
I was scared
I was shy
I was nervous
So was I
[Bridge]
But my father and my mother
Said we'd learn to love each other
And now I'm asking, Golde
[Chorus]
Do you love me?
I'm your wife!
I know
But do you love me?
Do I love him?
Well?
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
Then you love me!
I suppose I do
And I suppose I love you, too
[Outro]
It doesn't change a thing
But even so
After twenty-five years
It's nice to know
