Seperti
halnya lagu-lagu mereka yang lain, cinta juga menjadi tema utama lagu ini. Making Love Out of Nothing at All ditulis oleh Jim Steinman,
penulis lagu-lagunya Meat Loaf. Lewat suara Air Supply, lagu ini berhasil
hingga posisi kedua Billboard Hot 100 di Amerika Serikat selama tiga pekan. Lalu
dikalahkan oleh lagu Steinman yang lain, Total Eclipse Of The Heart.
Making
Love Out of Nothing at All ditulis Steinman berangkat dari karya dia yang lain yang menjadi theme
song A Small Circle of Friends, film yang rilis tahun 1980. Konon lagu ini dan Total
Eclipse Of The Heart sempat
ditawarkan Steinman ke Meat Loaf, tapi tak terjadi kesepakatan. Akhirnya Making
Love Out of Nothing at All diberikan oleh Air Supply, dan Total Eclipse
Of The Heart ke Bonnie Tyler.
Air Supply
merilis lagu ini dalam album Ultimate Air Supply tahun 1983, bersama
hits mereka yang lain seperti All Out Of Love, Faith in Love, Sweet Dreams, dan
The One That You Love. Sepanjang karir mereka sejak tahun 1976, duo asal
Australia, Graham Russell dan Russell Hitchcock ini telah menelurkan 18 album,
baik album studio maupun kompilasi.
Making
Love Out of Nothing at All
I know
just how to whisper,
and I
know just how to cry;
I know
just where to find the answers;
and I
know just how to lie.
I know
just how to fake it,
and I
know just how to scheme;
I know
just when to face the truth,
and then
I know just when to dream.
And I
know just where to touch you,
and I
know just what to prove;
I know
when to pull you closer,
and I
know when to let you loose.
And I
know the night is fading,
and I
know that time's gonna fly;
and I'm
never gonna tell you everything
I've got
to tell you,
but I
know I've got to give it a try.
And I
know the roads to riches,
and I
know the ways to fame;
I know
all the rules
and then
I know how to break 'em
and I always
know the name of the game.
But I
don't know how to leave you,
and I'll
never let you fall;
and I
don't know how you do it,
making
love out of nothing at all
(Making
love)
out of
nothing at all,
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all,
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all,
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all,
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all.
Every
time I see you all the rays of the sun
are
streaming through the waves in your hair;
and every
star in the sky is taking aim
at your
eyes like a spotlight,
The
beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
and it's
looking for a rhythm like you.
You can
take the darkness from the pit of the night
and turn
into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I've got
to follow it, 'cause everything I know, well it's nothing till I give it to
you.
I can
make the run or stumble,
I can
make the final block;
And I can
make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can
make all the stadiums rock.
I can
make tonight forever,
Or I can
make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can
make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can
make all your demons be gone.
But I'm
never gonna make it without you,
Do you
really want to see me crawl?
And I'm
never gonna make it like you do,
Making
love out of nothing at all.
(Making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
out of
nothing at all
(making
love)
