Air Supply – All Out Of Love

About The Song

“All Out of Love” is a pop ballad by British/Australian soft rock duo Air Supply, released as a single in 1980 from their fifth studio album “Lost in Love”. The song was written by Graham Russell and Clive Davis. In the United States, it reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In the UK, the song went to number 11 and is their only top 40 hit in that country. The song is known for vocalist Russell Hitchcock holding the final note for 16.2 seconds. This was the longest-held note for a male pop singer until 1983, when Sheriff lead vocalist Freddy Curci held the final note of “When I’m with You” for 19.4 seconds.

The lyrics describe the emotional state of a man desperately trying to win back the love of his life after the couple’s separation caused by a wrong done by the man against the woman he’s in love with. The chorus was originally “I’m all out of love, I want to arrest you”. However, Clive Davis thought that would be confusing to American audiences so he suggested “I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you”, which led to him being given a songwriting credit.

Lyrics

I’m lyin’ alone with my head on the phone
Thinkin’ of you till it hurts
I know you’re hurt too, but
What else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn’t really know
Doesn’t really know

I’m all out of love
I’m so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I’m all out of love
What am I without you?
I can’t be too late
To say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
I’m reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can’t hold on
There’s no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone

I’m all out of love
I’m so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I’m all out of love
What am I without you?
I can’t be too late
To say that I was so wrong

Oh, what are you thinkin’ of?
What are you thinkin’ of?
What are you thinkin’ of?
What are you thinkin’ of?

I’m all out of love
I’m so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I’m all out of love
What am I without you?
I can’t be too late
I know I was so wrong

I’m all out of love
I’m so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I’m all out of love
What am I without you?
I can’t be too late
I know I was so wrong

I’m all out of love
I’m so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I’m all out of love
What am I without you?
I can’t be too late
To say that I was so wrong

(I’m all out of love)
(I’m so lost without you)
(I know you were right)
