Song updated, review now!
I would do anyhting 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

Chorus:
And I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No i won't do that

Refrain:
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

Refrain2:
And some nights you're breathing fire
And some nights you're cold as ice
Some nights you're like nothing
I've ever seen before
Or will again

And maybe I'm crazy
Oh it's crazy
But 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

And I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
Oh oh but 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 maybe I'm lonely
And thats all I'm qualified to be
That's just one and only
The one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as the prayers are coming true
You better believe it

And I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
And i would do anything for love
But I won't do that
Oh no

I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
Ooh no i won't do that

No i won't do that

About"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a song written by Jim Steinman, and recorded by Meat Loaf with Lorraine Crosby. The song was released in 1993 as the first single from the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. The last six verses feature a female singer who was credited only as "Mrs. Loud" in the album notes. She was later identified as Lorraine Crosby. However, she does not appear in the video, in which her vocals are lip-synched by Dana Patrick. Meat Loaf promoted the single with US vocalist Patti Russo.

The power ballad was a commercial success, reaching number one in 28 countries. The single was certified platinum in the United States and became Meat Loaf's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and on the UK singles chart, and was the best-selling single of 1993 in the United Kingdom. The song earned Meat Loaf a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.

The timings in this article refer to the original album version. There are many shorter single and radio edits.

The song opens with a guitar played to sound like a revving motorcycle. Roy Bittan's piano begins to play along with the guitars. The vocals begin at the 1:50 point. The opening vocals are accompanied by piano and backing vocals. The song then becomes much louder as the band, predominantly piano, plays the main melody for twenty seconds. An instrumental section follows the first verse and chorus, lasting over 45 seconds, with piano playing the title melody, accompanied by guitar and wordless background vocals by Todd Rundgren, Rory Dodd and Kasim Sulton. The lead vocals recommence with another verse. The phrase "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" was changed to "Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock and roll" on the recording, although Meat Loaf occasionally sings the more familiar phrase in concert.
