I never liked the lyrics of this song for this very reason! I know that people say it has to do with cheating, and the lyrics do seem to suggest that, but I don't like it, because you don't cheat for love . . . for example, I'd never say "I'd do anything for love, but I won't cheat on you for love".
If you've seen the music video, I have another theory: he is a monster-like creature (like a vampire) and she is a human and they are in love; she wants him to make her like him so they can be together. His response to her is "No."; he will do anything for love, but he won't do that (because it would destroy her life). It might not be the real thing, but I prefer it, think it's cooler.

She says: "sooner or later you'll be screwing around" and Meatloaf replies: "I won't do that". Here are some of the lyrics:
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 a little less cold?
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Will you hold me sacred?
will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it a little less old?
Boy : I can do that!
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 that I can take home?
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy that I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - ?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?
Boy : I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl : Afert 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 wont do that!
I wont 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 wont do that!
I wont do that!
Anything for love, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, I wont do that.

What he won't do is all the things in the song he says he won't do.
Like:
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and thats a fact
and
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 wont do that!
I wont 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 wont do that!
I wont do that!
Anything for love, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I wont do that, I wont do that.
