I’ll Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) Songtext
von Meat Loaf

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
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that, oh
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
Oh, I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
But I won′t do that
No, I wont 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 somedays I pray for silence
And somedays I pray for soul
Somedays I just pray to the God of
Sex and drums and rock and roll


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 that′s a fact
And I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back

But I′ll never do it better then 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

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?

I can do that
Oh, I can do that

Will you hold me sacred?
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?

I can do that
Ooh, now I can do that

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?

Now I can do that
Oh, now I can do that

Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I′ve never known?

Now I can do that
Oh, oh now I can do that

After a while to forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that its time to move on

I won′t do that
I won′t do that

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

I won't do that
No, I won′t do that

Anything for love
But I won't do that
