I Love My Dog

I Love My Dog是二十世紀七十年代英國民謠搖滾歌手Cat Stevens（凱特·斯蒂文斯）的第一支單曲，其創作靈感來源於美國著名爵士大師Yusef Lateef的作品《The Plum Blossom》（1961年），1966年9月31日由知名製作人Mike Hurst在Deram Records（隸屬迪卡唱片）發行，收錄在其個人首張唱片《Matthew and Son》中，單曲在UK Singles Chart（英國單曲榜）最高排28位，並以此走紅。

Cat Stevens（凱特·斯蒂文斯）是英國民謠搖滾的代表人物，原名史蒂文·喬治烏（Steven Georgiou）。當他成為一名國際明星之後，於1979年皈依宗教並放棄了他的音樂事業並在1977年改名為Yusuf Islam，兩年後，他逐漸從流行音樂界淡出。1981年，Yusuf Islam開始創作一些宗教題材的歌曲。迄今為止，他在他自己的Mountain of Light廠牌已經發行了10張單是鼓加人聲的專輯，而這些內容被他精選收錄到了最近的專輯《Footsteps in the Light》當中。

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All he asks from me is the food to give him strength

All he ever needs is love and that he knows hell get

So, I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes

I dont need no cold water to make me realize that

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog as much as I love you

But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...

I love my dog, baby, I love my dog. na, na, na...

I love my dog, baby, I love my dog. na, na, na... ^[1]
