meatloaf song lyrics

[weemonkey]

Hi there

You know the song 'i would do anythin for love' by Meatloaf....

What is 'that' that he refers to in the song - I would do anything for love but i wont do that?

Its annoying me!

Cheers if anyone knows!

[Girl:] Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

[Meatl:] I can do that! I can do that!

[Girl:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Meatl:] I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Girl:] After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

[Meatl:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!

[Girl:] I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around

[Meatl:] I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Cheers fiferboy, I've never understood why so many people ask this question, it's perfectly obvious! (nothing personal weemonkey)

So to work out what he's singing about, you've got to listen to lyrics other than the title line? Bah, far too much like hard work.

He'd do anything for love, but lose weight....

There's loads of things throughout the song.

-Lie to you
-Forget the way you feel right now
-Forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
-Do it better thatn I do it with you
-Stop dreaming of you every night of my life
-Forget everything
-See that it's time to move on
-Screwing around.

I think the idea is that he won't just love her and leave her.
