It was written by Jim Steinman.
Some have found the lyrics of the song cryptic and claim that the singer never identifies what the "that" is that he is unwilling to do. Indeed, Steinman predicted this confusion during production.
Although some people assume that "that" is an exophoric reference to a sex act, it is actually an anaphoric reference to the varying activities and feelings that are specified as antecedents in the lyric that the singer says that he won't do.
In addition, the female vocalist identifies two other things that the lead singer denies that he will do: "You'll see that it's time to move on" and "You'll be screwing around." To both of these, the lead singer emphatically responds, "I won't do that! No, I won't do that!"
Meat Loaf says that the question "what is 'that'?" is one of the most popular questions he is asked. In his 1998 VH1 Storytellers special, he even explained it on stage using a blackboard and a pointing stick.
In his cameo in Spiceworld, he is asked to fix a toilet for the Spice Girls. He says that he would do anything for them, but he won't do that.
P.S...The video was based on Beauty and the Beast...not his being a vampire.

In the video for this song he is a vampire. He will do anything for love, but he won't bite her and make her a vampire.

The one thing that would destroy the relationship. It is subjective to each listener.
