about
In 2019, my son began preschool. Afterwards, often, he and I would go to a coffee shop called The Dane, which unfortunately, did not survive the pandemic of 2020-21. They had a TV in one corner that my son loved to watch because they played Star Trek reruns. They also had toys and books. And good food. And they played great music. I remember hearing “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” one afternoon -- and just fell in love – what a great song, I thought! At this point, I hadn’t thought about KISS or that this was their song in a long time. I went home and found the song and the video on YouTube and showed it/played it for Kaden. It was so great! I wrote up the “parental version” of the lyrics while watching my son at my husband’s work place.
For what it’s worth, this is a really, really hard song to sing. Paul Stanley’s falsetto is simply amazing. It’s perfect, and I’m not perfect. So, what you get with my version is me doing me -- being a mom in love with a song and doing her best to express what all parents experience – the deeply worrying concern that, yet again, you might not get a whole night of sleep.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep . . . . go to sleep!
Tonight, will I get any sleep?
It's a complete unknown
That worries me every time that you peep
But tonight, I will be there no matter what
‘Cause baby, I was made for you
And baby, you were made for me
I was made for loving you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
Oh baby, please sleep 'til morning
That would be magical
To be in dreamland, not in screamland
But tonight, let's make that come true
‘Cause baby, I was made for you and you for me
But we both need sleeeeppppppp
I was made for loving you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
I was made for loving you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you, baby
If you sleep through the night
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I can’t get enough . . . . . of sleep . . . . whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I can’t get enough . . .of sleep . . . oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I can’t get enough
