Lyrics for Making Love Out Of Nothing At All as interpreted by Ice

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All Lyrics
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)

i'm in lov with this song. it has the sweetest and most beautiful words. my favorite is "and every star in the sky is taking aim
at your eyes like a spotlight,"
whatever girl he wrote this song for, she's a very lucky girl. if only everyone could find love like this.

i was born in 1985 so some of these "older" songs are new to me. this one is great i love "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. "

OH MY GOD IF YOU DON'T LIKE A SONG FINE BUT STOP THE BASHING WILL YOU, THAT IS SO IMMATURE! Okay now that I am done having to say that, Air Supply is deffinatly one of my fave soft rock type bands, I got to see them inconcert a few years ago and WOW. They sound great live and on record. I don't think they have a song I dont love.

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.

WOW what a line or set of lines, I need that man! I'm with you Donia on that one!

i love this song!

Heard it when i was walking home, tired from the day's works and then BAM! This song...

Seems like the singer has been treated unfairly by someone and the way she did it as so beautiful. Though it hurts...

The act of making love out of nothing at all is to the singer is so cool and smooth that she could execute it so well. And it seems like he is giving her credit from breaking his heart and hopes and all.

Been in that situation before. I applauded silently how this person broke my heart in a classy manner. Making love out of nothing at all... Sigh...

Jim Stienman wrote this I believe.(Same guy who wrote and produced "Bat out of Hell" for Meatloaf.)

Damn good song...

Air Supply freakin' rules. This song is possibly the best love ballad ever. As everyone above me noted, whoever this guy was hung up on was a lucky girl until he broke his heart. It was that love-at-first-sight thing, and that's where the name came from - Love out of Nothing at all.

I think this song can mean different things, depends on the listener.
But, particularly it seems to me it's about being hopelessly in love with someone who just wants to use you for sex, who can "make love" passionately one night and not return your feelngs later. Or someone who doesn't love you and think it's fun to have an occasional fling.
I've been there, heheh.

Air Supply songs are so simple yet so true and powerful.

I've always been perplexed by the title of this song, but now the way I hear it is sort of along the lines of that the person he's singing to is unable or unwilling to commit further, so what they have is "nothing at all" compared to what it could be. He doesn't understand why they're willing to compromise themselves or their happiness like that, whereas he's willing to put it on the line. And he can do all kinds fancy maneuvers in the relationship with aplomb, but in the end, he can't force them to take the risk if they don't want to or don't believe they deserve it. I don't know...I could be way off. I used to think he was saying he could go through the motions of a relationship like a pro, but in the end, he couldn't force himself to fall in love, but now I don't think so. Anyway, whatever it means, the lyrics are really cool and Jim Steinman sure can write and produce the hell out of a love ballad. Also, sort of a different sound for Air Supply, but it works. The song was originally written for Meat Loaf, who would have been powerhouse, but theres something really haunting about the Air Supply vocals that just makes the song.

i definately agree with barefoot...personally, i've always thought this song highlights the concept of creating love in oneself toward someone, from nothing at all. as if the guy didn't give the girl any reason to love him, yet she still does...but looking at the lyrics, it could also be that he has built all this love for her, and she says she loves him too but he realises she doesn't really have reasons to feel that way..i've related to this song from both ends of the spectrum, but even wen i've been in neither side, its still the best air supply song ever!!!!!!

I was listening to this song on a road trip and we were trying to figure out the meaning of this song. After three or four times in a row- we determined that the song is about how much he loves his significant other.

In the begining he names all different types of characteristics he has that are not always good qualities to have- "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;"

He says he will never leave her- and he can't because he needs her and adores her, hence the rays of the sun and spot light bit. He loves her because she made him love- when he was nothing at all. He does so many things like lie- and he has the ability to please the fans, but he doesn't know how she loves him so much- almost like he is not worthy of her love.

favourite air supply song!!!!

best lines of love I have ever heard:

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.

the songs means that the guy is a great guy with almost 'perfectness'. he can do anything in this world and then he meet the ordinary girl that changed his whole life. with 'love' the girl could make his life totally out of control and meaningless without her

different take on this. he is not telling her he is using her.

it is a plea to win her heart.
he knows every spot, every breath. her world is his world. and he so wants to be with her.
but she does not feel the same. she is making love, 'out of nothing at all'.

Ok so I used to think this song was about an unrequited love and it kinda is but after watching the video and reading the lyrics again here's what it is. This dude completely loves this girl and can't live without her and wants her to go on the road with him. She doesn't support him, she won't go and tells him that she's not going to be there when he comes back. He's saying she's all these things to him and can't find a way to leave her but won't give up his own dreams. He's just in complete shock that she claims to love him but is willing to throw it away. He's saying I don't get how you can “make love” (not just to have sex) and say she loves him but leave him so easily and treat their relationship like its nothing at all. So in the beginning he's saying he knows all the right things to do to get her sympathy, attention, how to physically love her, he knows how to make it big in life but doesn't know how to get her to stay with him and their last night together is make or break it scenario and his final plea. So she's everything to him and she's just around him when it's convenient for her.
