Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) Lyrics

[@raypeters7449]

RIP....Great memories...

[@rubix9992]

Indeed ....fantastic childhood memories. I don't want to over-exaggerate my own history and say I bought everything Meat Loaf made ..... but the "Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell" album was the musical highlight of my childhood. I was 12 when that released. I remember clear as day ....a friend first copied that up for me on a cassette tape but I really wanted the actual retail tape ....and saved up weeks of pocket money to buy it. Had a Springer Spaniel dog called Willow .....used to take him on massive walks across country fields. On summer evenings would just let him run free across the fields ....get out the cassette player, put in the earphones .....fire up that Meat Loaf tape on full volume and listen to the rocking sounds of all the tracks on that tape. "I'd Do Anything for Love", "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are"....and of course my actual favourite, "Everything Louder than Everything Else" .....just damn fantastic! Just love the energy and emotion Meat Loaf put into those tracks. And memories I will never forget. May he rest well.

@@rubix9992 awesome memories...our Creator blessed us with those. I smiled when I read your dogs name, Willow is my little granddaughters name. Enjoying the great sound of Meatloaf on this Sunday morning while watching his concerts on youtube on my TV. Rest easy, Meatloaf from all your fans!

What an inspirational experience. Music has the power to capture our most precious moments and retain them in our memory to be recalled when we hear a certain song. For me “Bat Out Of Hell” changed my life. I watched transfixed as Meatloaf performed “Paradise.... on a British TV show in 1978 The Old Grey Whistle Test ...completely blew me away!!! Rushed out the following day and purchased the album. Changed my life. In my spare time I write poetry. The collaboration between Jim & Meatloaf inspires me to this day. This music captivated my soul and sent it soaring through the dark dark night releasing my spirit.

Songwriter Jim Steinman (passed spring of 2021) and now Michael Lee Aday (the name he changed to), with various reasons why he went by "Meat Loaf", now can join the angels in heaven, can you imagine the lyrics together there? He was my all time favorite album and singer! I know every word to every song on Bat Out Of Hell album. I was 15 when it came out. I still have 3 CDs copies of the album. I also play it frequently on streaming on my phone. RIP Michael/Meat Loaf! ~joe

True , Loyal Fan. This is the Only 12 minute Song (Not a remix) is Epic from beginning to End, marking an Era of Magic (1990's), it regained (Well deserved) The title as the Longest Studio recorded Song, After dethroning HEY JUDE By the Beatles, and this accolade was done with Passion and plenty of Style. Beautiful Work. Thank you for this Gem

I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) Meat Loaf And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh, no, no way And I would do anything for love but I won't do that, no, I won't do that Any would do anything for love, oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love but I won't do that, huh, no, I won't do that And some days it don't come easy and some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all and these are the days that never end And some nights you're breathing fire and some nights you're carved in ice Some nights are like nothing I've ever seen before or will again And maybe I'm crazy, oh, it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it That I would do anything for love, and I'll be there 'til the final act And I would do anything for love and I'll take the vow and seal the pact But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight And I would do anything for love, oh, I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love but I won't do that, no I won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that And some days I pray for silence and some days I pray for soul Some days I just pray to the God of sex and drums and rock and roll And some nights I lose the feeling and some nights I lose control Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls And maybe I'm lonely that's all I'm qualified to be There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep As long as the wheels are turning as long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it That I would do anything for love and you know it's true and that's a fact And I would do anything for love and there'll never be no turning back But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long And I would do anything for love, oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love but I won't do that, no, no, no, I won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of but I just won't do that But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life, no way And I would do anything for love, oh, I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love but I won't do that, no, I won't do that Will you raise me up? Will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this God-forsaken town? Will you make it all a little less cold? I can do that, oh, I can do that Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight? Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white? Can you make it all a little less old? I can do that, oh, no, now, I can do that Can you make me some magic with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand? Can you give me something I can take home? Now, I can do that, oh, no, now, I can do that Will you cater to every fantasy I got? Will you hose me down with holy water if I get too hot? (Hot) Will you take me places I've never known? Now, I can do that, oh, no, now, I can do that After a while you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer nights fling And you'll see that its time to move on I won't do that, I won't do that I know the territory I've been around It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down Sooner or later you'll be screwing around I won't do that, no, won't do that Anything for love, oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no, I won't do that Songwriters: Jim Steinman.

Greatest song ever after November Rain

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

Now that both the singer and the songwriter of this song have passed, we may never know the thing he apparently wouldn't do for love. It's kind of like whether or not Tony Soprano was killed in that diner in front of his family, or exactly what was in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase. Three things mankind will probably never know the answers to.

[@geno1825]

Listen to all of the epic masterpiece lyrics especially the part where solo part where Lorraine Crosby is singing it's about meatloaf won't cheat on her with him always dreaming about her with how he would do anything for love he will never stop dreaming about her very sad 💔 song & singing how their love making would be strong explosive

[@Briansgate]

um, he explained exactly what 'that' was.

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

Great song. Till today reading these words, I never realized how explicit this song really is. It's steamy and hot -- even without the original video. But I still don't know what he won't do? Going to take a cold shower. I need it after that song.

[@MercyfulFate1000]

He wont do the things the female singer said he'd do.

[@sagittariangypsy1241]

He won't mess around on his love to get more false love (sex). It's pretty obvious, never figured people didn't understand that.

When I first heard this song I thought there was something wrong with my CD player or the CD itself turned out that's the way the song was meant to sound 😂

[@patriciaackley6480]

I’ve got to say that this is one of my top 10 favorite songs but the only part that I disagree with in the song is when it says I won’t do that, and that’s just because I absolutely love my Hanson, loving, caring, my rock, my everything, and honestly my dream come true, and there isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for my husband. He’s so so awesome to me and he will do anything for me and same here.
