I would do anything for love

I would do anything for love (But I won't do that)

                    By: Meatloaf

                    From: Bat Out Of Hell II (Back into hell)

                    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

                    I would do anything for love

                    But I won't do that

                    I won't do that

                    Anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    But I won't do that

                    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're breathing fire

                    Some nights you're carved in ice

                    Some nights you're like nothing that 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 a burning

                    As long as your dreams are coming true-

                    You better believe it!

                    That I would do anything for love

                    And that I'll be there waiting for the final act -

                    I would do anything for love!

                    And I'll take a vow and seal a pact -

                    But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way -

                    Tonight -

                    I would do anything for love!

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    But I won't do that

                    I won't do that…

                    I would do anything for love

                    Anything that you've been dreaming of

                    But I won't do that…

                    Some days I pray for silence

                    Some days I pray for soul

                    Some days I pray to the God of sex and drums and Rock'n'Roll

                    Some nights I lose the feeling

                    Some nights I lose control

                    Some nights I lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

                    Maybe I'm just lonely

                    And that's all I'm qualified to be

                    There's just one and only

                    The one and only promise I can keep

                    As long as the planets are turning

                    As long as the stars a burning

                    As long as your dreams are coming true-

                    You better believe it!

                    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

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    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 won't do that…

                    But I'll never stop dreaming of you

                    Every night of my life

                    No way

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    But I won't do that

                    I won't do that!

                    **CODA**

                    Girl:

                    Will you raise me up?

                    Will you help me down?

                    Will you get me right out of this god-forsaken town?

                    Will you make it all a little less cold?

                    Boy:

                    I can do that!

                    I can do that!

                    Girl:

                    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 cold?

                    Boy:

                    I can do that!

                    I can do that!

                    Girl:

                    Will you make me some magic

                    With your own two hands?

                    Can you build me an emerald city with these grains of sand?

                    Can you give me something I can take home?

                    Boy:

                    I can do that!

                    I can do that!

                    Girl:

                    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 to places I've never known?

                    Boy:

                    I can do that!

                    I can do that!

                    Girl:

                    After awhile you'll forget everything

                    It was a brief interlude

                    And a mid-summer night's fling

                    And you'll see that it's time to move on

                    Boy:

                    I won't do that!

                    I won't 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

                    I would do anything for love

                    I would do anything for love

                    But I won't do that

                    I won't do that
