What these lyrics mean to me is that he will do anything to be in love with her but he will not put up with her screwing around on him. to me this is one of the best things about a well written song. Getting to see how everyone relates to the words of the song.

You have to listen until the very end of the song because that's only when he says about the thing he won't do for love --- which is sleeping around.

Each verse comprises two things that he would do for love, followed by one thing that he would not do. It is that latter part of each chorus that is the "that" of the title. However, some people misunderstand the lyrics, claiming that the singer never identifies what the "that" is that he is unwilling to do.

He saying he won't hurt or cheat is what I understand. Because in one of the verses she says "sooner or later you'll be fooling around", and he says "I won't do that" so I think that is what "that" is, but that's just my opinion. Great song though, Right?

I think he must have gotten high and just could not finish the song.
SEE KIDS, DON'T SMOKE, you will leave all your good songs only half way written.
Billie Joe Armstrong is an exception to this rule.

In the line, "I will do anything for love, but I won't do that," the "that" is whatever he said just before that. For example... "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" - The "that" in this particular verse is "forget the way you feel right now." Meat Loaf said this himself on his StoryTellers episode on VH1. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2952
