Making love out of nothing at all是来自澳洲的Air Supply的名曲，在83年的精选专辑中发表，获得排行榜第二。Air Supply的曲风是所谓soft rock，虽然８０年代初获得商业成功，但为传统摇滚歌迷所轻视，Jay Leno就曾在节目中嘲笑这支乐队。Air Supply的歌曲主要有成员之一Graham Russell创作，但这首歌却是著名词曲作者Jim Steinman为他们写的。Jim Steinman的歌曲都很长，曲调和歌词十分繁复，有点流行歌剧的味道，他和著名歌手Meat Loaf长期合作，Meat Loaf最著名的唱片Bat Out of Hell 1, 2, 3里的歌都是他写的。另一著名歌手Bonnie Tyler最有名的歌曲”Total Eclipse of the Heart”也是Steinman的手笔，和Making love out of nothing at all风格极其相似

Making love out of nothing at all是很典型的Steinman是歌曲，把简单的事情用很复杂的方式表达出来。歌词方面，先用一连串排比说歌者这也懂那也懂，啥都明白，一路铺垫，唱到高潮突然话锋一转，说“我就是不知怎样能离开你，也不知你如何凭空创造出这许多爱”，说白了就是少年不识愁滋味，为赋新词强说愁

Songwriters: JIM STEINMAN

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 the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And 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

Everytime 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 gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner 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
I can make you every promise that has ever been made
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, 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
