| Song lyrics |
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 thats 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-
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
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 you're 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 till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the vow and seal a 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 'N' 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 thats a fact,
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...
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.
Girl: Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl: Will you hold me sacred,
Will you hold me tight.
Will you colorize my life,
I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old.
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
Oh, Oh, I can do that!
Girl: Will 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?
Meatloaf: I can do that
I can do that
Girl: Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - If I get too hot?
Will you take me to places I'll never know?
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl: After a while you'll forget everything,
Just a brief interlude, and a mid-summer night's fling,
Then you'll see that it's time to move on.
Meat Loaf: I won't do that.
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,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
Meat Loaf: I won't do that!
No I 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...

What the hell "wont he do" for love? Its an incredible song but I dont understand. | 19-03-2005 23:37 Weston45 |  1 posts
| Thanks to my girlfriend who actually pays attention to lyrics, I know what he is referring to when he says "i would do anything for love, but i won't do that..." At the end of the song, he has a dialogue with a girl...he tells her all the things he CAN do, and then the end goes like this:
Girl: 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.
Meat Loaf: I won't do that!
No I won't do that!
Listen to what is said, and it is revelaed that meat loaf will do anything for love, but he swears he will not cheat on this girl...
enjoy... | 20-03-2005 06:46 lozerella |  819 posts

Since someone asked earlier and didn't get an answer, the woman is Ellen Foley, who also sings (but is not in the video for) "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and was a member of Jim Steinman's girl group Pandora's Box. She also did a rather excellent solo album named "Night Out" that about six people bought, I think.
I love this song but I also really think it's the weakest song on "Bat out of Hell II," which is in my opinion the second-greatest album ever created. And Jim Steinman is the god of songwriting, btw. | 27-06-2005 05:43 spikeydude77 |  11 posts

This is one of the 3 big Meatloaf hits
You took the words out of my mouth
Paradise by the Dashboardlight
are the other 2 | 16-03-2006 11:19 hum |  17,235 posts
| okey, I've always wondered:
what is it he won't do?
Answer me goddamnit! | 20-03-2006 00:04 guardien |  10 posts
| What the girl says, like screwing around, he won't do "that". He'll do anything for love but he won't screw around. He won't see that its time to move on, either. I would do anything for love, but I won't leave you and I won't screw around.
Some people firmly believe that it means oral sex. Those people are sick. | 14-04-2006 13:32 hum |  17,235 posts
