    Funny, but the song actually says what it is. 1st verse, 4th line - he will never lie to her.

      It’s more complicated:

      In his song “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” songwriter Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf explicitly name several things the singer will never do.

      Lie to you
      Forget the way you feel right now
      Forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
      Do it better than I do it with you
      Stop dreaming of you every night of my life
      See that it's time to move on
      Be screwing around 
      

      Meat Loaf explained in interviews that because the line “I’d do anything for love” is repeated several times right before the final refrain, listeners simply forget the specific preceding line (“I’ll never stop dreaming of you”) that defines “that”.

    Cool story, but didn’t that tool come out as a MAGA lover? Apparently he would do anything, including that.

      Imagine turning down getting railed into the mattress by the one you love. Smh my head, fear seeks only to protect us from all the most precious experiences in life 😔
