==Overview==
According to the Weezer Recording History, "I Was Made for You" was first demoed acoustically as in February of 2004. The version of "I Was Made For You" from Alone is listed in that album's liner notes as having been recorded in Spring of 2004. The song was thereafter reworked under the title "Someone Who Can Love" and then "Save Me." The latter was recorded by Weezer throughout the production of Make Believe. The song was finished in October of 2004 at Grandmaster Recorders Ltd., though it was cut from the final track list and thus received no final mix. Several solo pre-production demos of "I Was Made for You" were released in 2020 as part of the digital compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.
The chorus to "I Was Made for You" was later re-appropriated into the bridge to the song "It's Always Summer in Bikini Bottom", released in 2021 as part of the soundtrack to the film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.

|-|'Alone' version=
Little one, how long I've waited here
Waited for so many lonely years
Nobody ever could make me smile
'Til you came 'round with your pretty style
And I will love you so
And I will love you so
'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside
Happiness is such a fickle thing
Nothing compares to what you can bring
You can bring meaning to what I do
That is why I want to be with you
And I will love you so
And I will love you so
'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside
My darling, I need you
I'd give myself to please you
My darling, I need you
I want you to be mine
'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for you
And you were made for me
And that is all I know
You're all that I can see
'Cause I was made for loving you
And all the little things you do
Remind me who I am inside
Remind me who I am inside
Remind me who I am inside

I don't know what I can say to you
Nothing I say feels like it is true
I am so sorry for how things were
I wish that you could be happier
Nothing works that way
Nothing works that way
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Maybe in some other universe
Being alive doesn't have to hurt
Things turn out just how we feel they should
No one is ever misunderstood
But nothing works that way
Nothing works that way
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Be happy if you can
I wish the best things for you
Be happy if you can
I'll always love your soul
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Tell me how the story ends
Tell me how the story ends
