"Do I Love You" is a song co-written and recorded by Paul Anka, from his 1972 eponymous LP. Released as an advance single in late 1971, "Do I Love You" reached number 14 on the Easy Listening Singles charts of both the U.S. and Canada, number 16 on the Canadian Pop chart, and was a modest hit on the U.S. Hot 100 as well. As with the earlier " My Way", it was adapted from a French-language song ("Plus rien qu'une adresse en commun") popularized by Claude François, and Anka composed the English lyrics.
