I Love My Dog
Cat Stevens · On The Road To Find Out [2001]
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 he'll 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 don't 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...
About I Love My Dog

The song reflects Stevens' signature folk style, characterized by its simple melodies and introspective lyrics that explore themes of domestic tranquility and personal contentment. As part of his early discography, the recording captures the raw, unpolished sound typical of the British folk revival movement of the late 1960s. Stevens' vocal delivery is warm and understated, avoiding dramatic flourishes in favor of an authentic, conversational tone that invites listeners into a quiet moment of reflection. The composition remains a staple of his catalog, often cited as an example of his ability to find beauty in everyday life. While the song has been reissued in various compilations, its original context on *Matthew & Son* defines its place in his artistic evolution and enduring legacy within the folk genre.
