What was ' that' in Meat Loaf's 'I'd do anything for love but I wont do that'?

Question

Can anyone tell me what it was he woulndt do. Listened to it today and i cant work it out.

Answer 1

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. (thanks, Melly - Chicago, IL)

There is a new 'that' in every verse, he says I would never lie to you, I won't forgive myself if we don't go all the way, Tonight; I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life; I'll never do it better than I do it with you; and when she says the he'll be screwing around sooner or later, that is the 'that' for the last verse.

Answer 2

She says that it will eventually be time for them to move on but he says he won't do that. Then she says he will eventually cheat and he says he won't do that. It's all towards the end of the song.

Answer 3

its lieing to her and forgetting the way she feels

quote "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,

Answer 4

lyrics, (heard toward the end of the song):

[Girl]"...And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around."

[Boy:] "I won't do that! No I won't do that!"

He's saying he'll do anything for love, except cheat on her.

Answer 5

He won't cheat on her.

Answer 6

Meatloaf has never said what "it" is.

Answer 7

I'm thinking..."treadmill"
