In Meatloaf's song "I would do anything for love, but i wont do THAT", What exactly does he mean by "THAT"?

Question

Me and my co workers are bored and interested in finding out.

Cheers.

Answer 1

Screw around.

Remember, she sings "sooner or later, you'll be screwing around" and that's when he responds he won't. Everything else, he's down with. Hosing her down with holy water when she gets too hot, catering to every fantasy she's got, etc. He can do all THAT, but he won't cheat.

Answer 2

he's putting forward that he will do something for her love this nighttime and he will love her perpetually yet she thinks he purely needs exciting and he's asserting that he wont handle her the way that she thinks he will.... take a verify out the lyrics from the music... [woman:] After a collectively as you will ignore each and every thing It replaced right into a quick interlude and a midsummer nighttime's fling and you will see that it's time to bypass on [Boy:] I won't do this! No I won't do this! [woman:] i understand the territory, i've got been around it's going to all turn to airborne dirt and dust and we will all cave in And faster or later, you would be screwing around [Boy:] I won't do this! No I won't do this!

Answer 3

Check out the lyrics:

"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 th"

Meatloaf will never forget the way you feel right now. I'm not sure how he knows the way you feel right now. Perhaps some kind of Santa-like "knows when you are sleeping, knows when you're awake" sort of deal. Many famous overweight people possess that sort of psychic ability.

Answer 4

Per the Lyrics you would probably confer that it is screw around, towards the end of the lyrics she says that he'll realize that it was a brief interlude and a midsummers night fling and that sooner or later he'd be screwing around.


I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) Lyrics


I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

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 that's 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, 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, oh I won't do that

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
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

Maybe I'm crazy, but 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 til the final act
I would do anything for love, and I'll take a 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
(repeats 3x)

(Solo)

Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
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

Maybe I'm lonely and that's all I'm qualified to be
There'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 your prayers are coming true, you better believe it

That I would do anything for love, and you know it's true and that's 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
(repeats 7x)

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
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 get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all 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 all a little less old?

[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh, now 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?

[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Girl:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Boy:] I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!

[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

He'll never fly without mechanical help
