One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking love songs I’ve ever heard. Makes me cry every time. “I’d fight a guy for you. I’d fight a girl for you.” Wrecks me.
Play video MIKE: Do you know what it's like To be in love with you, To have my heart still love you When my mind knows it's not true? Do you know what it's like To be in love with you, Not to remember what my life was like Before I first met you? Do you know what it's like when I lie in bed And I think of you and the things you've said, How they're almost exactly all the things that I've said, too? But there's one word missing and it comes before 'love? And I think it doesn't matter, what we have is enough, But what we have isn't in so I don't know what to do? Oh, do you know? STEVE: Do you know what it's like Not to be in love with you, Not to have my heart obey What my mind wants to be true? Do you know what it's like Not to be in love with you, But to like you, love you, cherish you, idolize you and protect you? Do you know what it's like to look into your eyes And see what I know you don't see in mine Though I pray it might be so the whole night through. Do you know what it's like to have to let go of your hand and to start another life, a life I don't understand, and live the rest of my life knowing how much I've hurt you? Oh, do you know? KATE: I know I'll never find your lovin' in anyone else, Though I'll try'oh, and I'll try? And I know I'll never find your smile in anyone else, Though I'll try'oh, and I'll try? ROBERTA: If someone were to come up to me and say that they knew how to love you better, I'd say,'Buddy, step into the ring you're going down.? I'd fight a guy for you. I'd fight a girl for you. I'd fight myself, you know I would, If I thought it'd do any good. Oh, do you know? STEVE: Do you know what it's like...not to be in love with you MIKE: Do you know what it's like...to be in love with you KATE: I know I'll never find your lovin' in anyone else ROBERTA ...in anyone else STEVE: not to have my heart obey what my mind wants to be true? MIKE: oh...when my mind knows it's not true? KATE: though I'll try... oh, and I'll try. ROBERTA: ...though I'll try...oh, and I'll try. STEVE: Do you know what it's like...not to be in love with you MIKE: Do you know what it's like...to be in love with you KATE: And I know I'll never find your smile in anyone else ROBERTA: ...in anyone else STEVE: but to like you, love you, cherish you, idolize you, and protect you? MIKE: but to like...and love... KATE: though I'll try... oh, and I'll try. ROBERTA: ...though I'll try...oh, and I'll try. STEVE: Do you know what it's like to look into your eyes and to see what I know you don't see in mine MIKE: Do you know what it's like when I lie in bed KATE: If someone were to come... ROBERTA: If someone were to come up to me and say that they knew how STEVE: though I'd pray it might be so, the whole night through? MIKE: and I think of you, and the things you've said? KATE: and say they knew of love... ROBERTA: to love you better, I'd say, 'Buddy, step into the ring you're going down.? STEVE: Do you know what it's like to have to let go of your hand and to start another life, a life I don't understand MIKE: Well, there's one word not there, and it comes before love?... KATE: I'd tell them it's not true... ROBERTA: I'd fight a guy for you. I'd fight a girl for you. STEVE: and live the rest of my life knowing how much I've hurt you? MIKE: Does it matter? Is what we have enough? KATE: No one can love like you. ROBERTA: I'd fight myself you know I would if I thought it would do any good. ALL: Oh, do you know? K: How to look into your eyes... STEVE: To let go of your hand... ROBERTA: To start another life... MIKE: I just don't understand.
While this is a good song, I think it drags too much, especially for its placement in the show. When I watched it this number seemed like it would never end.

This is one of my favorite songs from a musical. So under rated. Lyrics, vocals, the whole meaning.
This makes me cry every time I hear it! Such good memories :'(

MIKE: Do you know what it's like
To be in love with you,
To have my heart still love you
When my mind knows it's not true?
Do you know what it's like
To be in love with you,
Not to remember what my life was like
Before I first met you?
Do you know what it's like when I lie in bed
And I think of you and the things you've said,
How they're almost exactly all the things that I've said, too?
But there's one word missing and it comes before 'love?
And I think it doesn't matter, what we have is enough,
But what we have isn't in so I don't know what to do?
Oh, do you know?
STEVE: Do you know what it's like
Not to be in love with you,
Not to have my heart obey
What my mind wants to be true?
Do you know what it's like
Not to be in love with you,
But to like you, love you, cherish you,
idolize you and protect you?
Do you know what it's like to look into your eyes
And see what I know you don't see in mine
Though I pray it might be so the whole night through.
Do you know what it's like
to have to let go of your hand
and to start another life, a life I don't understand,
and live the rest of my life knowing how much I've hurt you?
Oh, do you know?
KATE: I know I'll never find your lovin' in anyone else,
Though I'll try'oh, and I'll try?
And I know I'll never find your smile in anyone else,
Though I'll try'oh, and I'll try?
ROBERTA: If someone were to come up to me
and say that they knew how
to love you better, I'd say,'Buddy,
step into the ring you're going down.?
I'd fight a guy for you. I'd fight a girl for you.
I'd fight myself, you know I would,
If I thought it'd do any good.
Oh, do you know?

Did anyone else just discover this because of Riverdale?
So do I !
Does anyone know where instrumental versions of this show can be found??
