As long as I live all that I receive is what I want to give to you
I know that if I can stay for a while you will soon love me too
Let's take a chance at least we'll learn a lesson
It beats hanging round waiting for moments that wait into days
I don't want to love you in two different ways

Do you want to give, do you want to give me you whole day and more
Do you want to give, do you want always the key to the door
It's easy for you talking your way out of all situations
When you can't see thru' and leave it up to me
And that's what I do

And that's what I do

Love comes to me and leaves me with you
Love runs thru' me in all that you do
Don't walk away, don't leave me standing here
That's not the way, don't lead me anywhere
I need you now, I need you now
Don't leave me standing here
Oh, I don't know, I just don't know
It's much too fast for me can't we go slow
Oh, I don't know, I just don't know
What do you want me to do

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
