The answer is cheat around on the other person. They lyrics are near the end of the song.

[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!
This is the end lyrics to his song. I wont do that means That he will stay around he's not leaving. She is more then a summer love. He's not going to cheat.

Near the end of the song when the girl joins in she says "sooner or later you'll be screwing around" and he replies, I won't do THAT. He won't cheat on her just to get some lovin!

He won't take anchovies on a pizza he's sharing with her.
EDIT--- if the answer really is "he won't cheat", then the lyrics make no sense. "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that" ---Well cheating isn't a thing for love, so why does he even count that when singing to his main squeeze?

Lie, Cheat, Steal.
Some people, pull the "if you love me, you will do _(something immoral)_____ this for me"
The song I believe is saying, while I would do anything for you to love me, I won't do THAT!

My guess is that it's one of those situations where the artist intends for the listener to insert whatever "that" means to them into the song in their own minds, or at least get them thyinking. Sometimes ambiguity is deliberate.

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

In typical Meatloaf style, the answer to your question is in the last part of the song's lyrics.

I always wondered that too. I always thought it was like an inappropriate sex act or something embarassing, or like a sacrifice like not being able to not leave the toilet seat up or something. I'm weird =)
