When Meat Loaf sang, "I would do anything for you, but I won't do that," what exactly was "that?"

Answer 1

I tell you one thing...if he won't do "that" (wink wink) he can forget it!!!!

Answer 2

Cheat.... "That" is cheating....

The song goes on and on and he is saying he will love her and be devoted but he wont do that. In the end of the song where he sings with the female, she says all this things of love and he says he *Can* do that and at the end she she says negative things and he says he *won't* do that... Lyrics posted below...

Exerpt :
[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

[Boy:] 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

[Boy:] 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


So that's my answer.... :)

Answer 3

Marriage

Answer 4

I think me and my friend figured it out once, it's something different at each part of the song, it isn't just one thing throughout. I'm not sure if it's right though (we were pretty baked).


**I found the lyrics, so here's what my interpretation of what he's saying is: (I cut out the parts that don't apply..)


But I'll never forget the way you feel right now -
Oh no - no way -
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that

*so this one, he'll never forget the way you feel right now

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way -
Tonight -
I would do anything for love!
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that...

*He'll never forgive himself if they don't go all the way

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long -
So long -
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that!

*he'll never do it better than he does it with you

But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life -
No way -
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that!

**He won't stop dreaming of you


...and so on
