I Would Do Anything For Love Lyrics

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, No I won't do that,

And 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.

And some nights you breathing fire,
And some nights your carved in ice,
Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before, or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy, Oh 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!
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...

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do...

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N' Roll.

And Maybe I'm lonely, 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!

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 all a little less cold?

Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!

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

Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!

Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.

Meat Loaf: I won't do that!
No I won't do that!

Anything for love,
But I won't do that!

some, well, actually a lot of the lyrics are missing with the girl at the end. here they are....straight from the album booklet:

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 scared?
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!
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!
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 to places I've never known?

Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!

Girl:
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsimmer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

Boy:
I won't do that!
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!
I won't do that!

Anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But i won't do that
I won't do that

It depends on the view, think about it, comments in the song, can you make me less old, holy water etc. He is a vampire and he would do anything for love except hurt her or forget her, or turn her into a vampire hmmmmmmm

Brill Song! The female artist is Patty Russo. If you have seen the storytellers DVD then you will no what 'THAT' is. The line before every chorus is 'THAT'. For example, I'll never forget the way you feel right now. He'll never do that, He'll never forget. Just listen and you'll understand.

Does anyone know who plays the girl in video? I've always liked that video and I could never figure out who is the girl in the video and it is driving me crazy.

Although there are negative statements throughout the song ("And I'll never forget the way you feel...") the real "that" which he won't do is have sex with other women.

Meatloaf (or in actuality, Jim Steinman, who wrote the song for Meatloaf) is using a double-meaning of "love" as both "devotion" (or romantic love) and "sex." Thus, he will do anything for the girl he loves, but he won't do anything for physical love with another person. He won't leave the girl he's with.

PS - I once got a speading ticket for 53 in a 30 because, a few years ago, I was trying to convince my friends that the song was NOT about oral sex; my method of arguementation apparently involved speeding up until they agreed with me.

PPS - Once I got the ticket, they all voiced their agreement.

I really love this song. It's funny cuz I heard it today, and I realized that I haven't heard anything by meat loaf in a long time. He really is a great artist, and I think a lot of people overlook his talent, which is kinda sad. But this song really kicks ass, and meat loaf is a swell guy who knows how to rock out fo' sho'.

For all of you wandering just what he "wont do" its easy. if you read the lines before he said "i wont do that", thats what he wont do. the first one is "But I'll never forget the way you feel right now-" then he said "i would do anything for love......, BUT I WONT DO THAT". the "THAT" is "...forget the way...". its that way all through the song.

i know this from an interview i saw of him when the question was asked "what he wont do?" and If you have seen the video, the woman in the video is not the woman singing. the woman in the video cant sing. she is just for looks.

i think this is the greatest love song of all.

Thank God! I thought I was the only one who couldnÂ´t understand this song. Whenever I listen to this it I always ask myself, what is it that he wonÂ´t do??? Really what is it?

dex_mck02	20/05/2003 14:04:38
best song ever written

I think that the reason for the paradox is because, in some sense, it is a bad thing that he won't do what he says he won't. There's always some part of every person that is afraid of commitment, and that part him is probably saying that he shouldn't make promises and say he won't do things, because doing so is, in all practicality, a commitment.

in a more literal sense, i see three things in the song that he "won't do" .. .
-he'll "never forget the way you feel right now"
-he'll "never do it better than (he does) it with you"
and - he won't be "screwing around" .. ..
the repeated lines "i would do anything for love/ but i won't do that" seems somewhat paradoxical though b/c it implies that it's perhaps a bad thing that he won't do the things he says he won't. ..

I believe,because meatloaf writes in an operetic mode, that what he won't do is purelly subjective, it is in the eye and heart of the beholder.

Anonymous	26/10/2002 06:21:45
The only thing that i can figure out to anser your question is that she say that sooner or later he'll be screwing around, and then he say that he wount do that, that is the only thing i can figure.
