In memoriam - Meat Loaf passes away

[uplander01]

Meat Loaf was as big a part of my life in the 80's and 90's as country girls, pick up trucks, Budweiser, and stinky dive bars. A music ICON for sure, Thoughts and prayers for those he left behind, I'm sure he will be missed by all. RIP

@RabdyF and everyone else.
Meatloaf would do anything for love but I won't do that.

Does anyone know what "that" is, I've been trying to figure it out for 30 years.
Great singer and a humble man.
Loved playing bat out of hell full volume in the truck when I drove interstate, but the hammer used to go down to full noise. In one truck a W model kenworth that was in excess of 100 miles an hour. More fun than shooting a 458 Lott, less painful .

Meatloaf’s opera style voice was second only to Freddie Mercury.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's use this an the example.

There are multiple statements made in the song followed by a reprise of "I will do anything for love". Repeating "I will do anything for love" makes the song confusing if you aren't paying close attention. Pretend there is only one, "I will do anything for love", and it will make more sense. In the above stanza, he is saying he will " never stop dreaming of you every night of my life no way". He will do anything for love but stop dreaming of her every night of his life.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is easier to see at the end of the song, because the writer has "I won't do that", two times before the three times saying "I would do anything for love." ie: he won't be screwing around on her.


Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

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...



--------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a number of different "thats" like this in the song. Hope this helps explain what "that" means.
