Can anyone explain this " I would do anything for love but I won't do that"
what exactly won't he do?

They did this on a local radio show once a couple of years back, people would call in and tell what they thought the "that" was.

I can't tell you what my response was, it was particularly dirty and would get me banned for LIFE :D

He said what it was on Storytellers...but it didn't make any sense to me...it was something like whatever the previous line was in a particular verse preceding "I would do anything for love but I won't do that!" But since he uses the line like 4 or 5 times during the song...then there's 4 or 5 things he won't do!

I know if this line was in "Paradise By The Dashboard Light"...then 'that' would be marriage...but that's too easy!

God! I miss the 70s sometimes!

One of the 10 Best of the 70s...IMHO!

according to wikipedia 4 things
- 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, so long
- stop dreaming of you every night of my life

Or maybe it is just a mindless rock and roll lyric that happens to sound good in the verse. Not every lyric "has meaning".

I still have a "Bat out of Hell" 8-track, along with all the KISS individual members 8-tracks! I also have "Bat out of Hell" on CD and I think maybe on an LP too. Do you get the idea that maybe I liked the album?

I am a "70's kid" and 60's, 80's, 90's, 00's & 10's (damn that's a lot of decades)! I listen to anything from the late 50's to today whether it be pop, soft rock, hard rock, heavy metal, Motown, some rap, some hip-hop, old blues and very old country.

Music is the fountain of youth.
