I'd Do Anything for Love [But I Won't Do That] 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,

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,

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.

[x2]

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,

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'd 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 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.....

I would do anything for love.

Anything you've been dreaming of.

But I just won't do that!

[x3]

But I'll never stop dreaming of you,

Every night of my life.

No way.

And I would do anything for love.

But I won't do that.

No I won't do that.

[Lorraine Crosby:]

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?

[Meat Loaf:]

I can do that.

Oh oh, now I can do that.

[Lorraine Crosby:]

Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?

Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?

Will you take me places I've never known?

[Meat Loaf:]

Now I can do that!

Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Lorraine Crosby:]

After awhile 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.

[Meat Loaf:]

I won't do that.

I won't do that.

[Lorraine Crosby:]

I know the territory, I've been around,

It'll all turn to dust and will 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.
