Meat Loaf - I'D Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Click to view"Many music critics hated this. The song and the album made a lot of "Worst Of" lists at the end of 1993".
"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".

"Двенадцатиминутную песню с альбома сократили до семиминутной версии. Бюджет клипа, по словам его режиссера, был примерно равен бюджету фильма "Четыре свадьбы и одни похороны".

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 thats 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-
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
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'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.
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!
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the 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...
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 that...
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 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
And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only,
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 thats 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...
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 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 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...
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,
Oh 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 help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl: Will you hold me sacred,
Will you hold me tight.
Will you colorize my life,
I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old.
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
Oh, Oh, 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?
Meatloaf: I can do that
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?
Will you take me to places I'll never know?
Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl: After a while you'll forget everything,
Just a brief interlude, and a mid-summer night's fling,
Then you'll see that it's time to move on.
Meat Loaf: 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,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
Meat Loaf: 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...
Живое исполнение
It's sort of is a little puzzle and I guess it goes by - but they're all great things. 'I won't stop doing beautiful things and I won't do bad things.' It's very noble. I'm very proud of that song because it's very much like out of the world of Excalibur. To me, it's like Sir Lancelot or something - very noble and chivalrous. That's my favorite song on the record - it's very ambitious.
