I Would Do Anything For Love ( But I Won't Do That ) - Meat Loaf

escrita por Jim Steinman (compositor, letrista y productor discográfico estadounidense) interpretada por el cantante de rock Meat Loaf con la colaboración de Lorraine Crosby (cantante y compositora inglesa) incluida en Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, el sexto álbum musical publicado en 1993 por Michael Lee Aday más conocido como Meat Loaf, un éxito inmenso que le valió a Meat Loaf un premio Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación Vocal de Rock Solista y uno de los mayores misterios ¿Qué es lo que el cantante no haría por amor?
Si "haría cualquier cosa por amor, correría directo al infierno y de regreso" canta Meat Loaf en las primeras líneas de la canción siguiendo con mas razones por las que el sería perfecto para su amor (nunca mentir, hacer un voto, sellar el pacto, estar allí hasta el final etc.)
Pero es en los últimos minutos cuando se introduce la cantante Lorraine Crosby para encarnar el objeto de deseo de Meat Loaf y proporcionarle una compañera de dueto para dejar en claro lo que el no haría para que el romance funcionara: ¿si se acostaran?¿la dejaría inmediatamente y se olvidaría de ella? No, le dice Meat Loaf en voz baja « No haré eso ». Si lo intentan, ¿la engañaría y se pasaría el tiempo «haciéndole el tonto»? «No», dice, No haré eso».

written by Jim Steinman (American composer, lyricist and record producer) performed by rock singer Meat Loaf with the collaboration of Lorraine Crosby (English singer and songwriter) included in Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, the sixth musical album released in 1993 by Michael Lee Aday better known as Meat Loaf, a huge success that earned Meat Loaf a Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance and one of the greatest mysteries: What wouldn't the singer do for love? If "I'd do anything for love, I'd run straight to hell and back," Meat Loaf sings in the opening lines of the song, continuing with more reasons why he'd be perfect for her love (never lie, make a vow, seal the pact, be there until the end, etc.).
But it's in the final minutes that singer Lorraine Crosby steps in to embody Meat Loaf's object of desire and provide him with a duet partner to make it clear what he wouldn't do to make the romance work: if they slept together, would he dump her immediately and forget about her? "No," Meat Loaf tells her quietly, "I won't do that." If they tried, would he cheat on her and spend the whole time "making a fool of her"? "No," he says, "I won't do that."

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 -
i would do anything for love
I would do anything for love [3x]

But i won´t do that
No i won´t do that.

Some days it don´t come easy, some days it don´t come hard
Some days it don´t come at all, and these are the days that never end

Some nights you breath fire
some nights your carved in ice
Some nights you´re like nothing i've ever seen before or will again
Maybe i´m crazy
but 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 (3x)
But i won´t do that
i won´t do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But i just wont do that

Some days i pray for silence
some days i pray for soul
Some days i just pray to the god
of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll

Maybe i'm lonely
and thats 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
i would do anything for love (3x)
But i won´t do that, 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 a little less cold?
Boy : i can do that! i can do that!
Girl : will you cater to
every fantasy that i've got?
Will ya hose me down
with holy water - if i get too hot?
Will you take me
to places that i've never known?
Boy : i can do that! 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,
And sooner or later you'll be screwing around
Boy : i won´t do that
i won´t do that!
Anything for love
but i won´t do that
