What Meat Loaf Means When He Sings 바카라�I바카라�d Do Anything For Love (But I Won바카라�t Do That)바카라�

In 2011, a 22-year-old boy (or a man depending on your perspective) from Delhi was going through a list of English songs, on his personal laptop, trying to find the right song to impress a girl he was crushing on for months, who finally agreed to go out for a cup of coffee with him. He wanted the song to be perfect, and after impatiently going through about 300 songs, he reached out to a friend, asking for the perfect song, if there was any. 바카라�Have you heard Meat Loaf바카라�s 바카라�I바카라�d Do Anything For Love (But I Won바카라�t Do That)? That should be the right song,바카라� was his friend바카라�s advice. 

Excited, he quickly googled the lyrics of the song and had almost pulled out his acoustic guitar from the dusty old bag to learn the song, when in his stomach, he sensed that familiar feeling of dilemma, if she would really appreciate the song. All because of one line, which is also a part of the title: 바카라�But I Won바카라�t Do That바카라�.  

What Is 바카라�THAT바카라�? He is saying he will do anything for love. He will run 바카라�right to hell and back바카라�, in fact. Looking for answers, the Dilliwala reopened his laptop, and like any other curious youngster, 바카라�googled바카라� about what the song바카라�s singer Meat Loaf, or its songwriter-composer Jim Steinman meant, when they said they would do anything for love, but 바카라�THAT바카라�.  

Turns out it wasn바카라�t just the youngster from Delhi, who had been looking for answers. The track was released in 1993, and by the time it was 1998, Meat Loaf was already saying things like, 바카라�I get that question all the time,바카라� and even proceeded to use a blackboard explain to a room full of audience, finally clearing the ambiguity, once and for all.  

바카라�It바카라�s the line before every chorus,바카라� Meat Loaf explained in the video.   

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,
Oh no, no way.
And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

This is one example. As it turns out, there were a total of four promises made in the song which Meat Loaf won't ever do. 바카라�But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way바카라�, 바카라�Anything you've been dreaming of바카라�, 바카라�But I'll never do it better than I do it with you바카라� and 바카라�never stop dreaming of you바카라�, are the four promises he sings before the chorus, and through the course of the nearly eight-minute-long song (studio version), are the only things that he won바카라�t do.  

It made sense that listeners were confused, regarding the ambiguity of the lyrics as Meat Loaf confessed in an interview in 2014 that Steinman too, was not sure if people would understand the lyrics. 바카라�When we were recording it, Jim [Steinman] brings up the thing 바카라� he says, 바카라�People aren바카라�t gonna know what that is,바카라�바카라� Meat Loaf once recalled in a 2014 interview with Yahoo. 바카라�I said, 바카라�Of course they are. How can they not know?바카라� He goes, 바카라�They바카라�re not gonna',바카라� he recalled.  

A bit more research shows that the use of the word 바카라�but바카라�, instead of 바카라�and바카라�, is what adds to the confusion. 바카라�It sort of is a little puzzle and I guess it goes by - but they're all great things. 'I won't stop doing beautiful things and I won't do bad things.' It's very noble. I'm very proud of that song because it's very much like out of the world of Excalibur. To me, it's like Sir Lancelot or something - very noble and chivalrous. That's my favourite song on the record - it's very ambitious,바카라� he had said in an interview in 1993, during a promotional event for the album.  

Despite the clarifications and the explanations, there are various forums where people have tried to come out with their own versions of what they think the protagonist in the song is referring to, when he sings, he 바카라�won바카라�t do that바카라�. Thanks to its cleverly-structured lyrics, which might not have been the intention of the creators from the start, a song that was created nearly 30 years ago continues to fuel the imagination of its listeners, but who project their own thoughts, values, and concerns onto the meaning of the song, just like the 22-year-old from Delhi, which is exactly why the song will be an evergreen classic. 10 years later, things with the girl didn바카라�t work out, sadly, but the song remains one of the most played songs in his playlist.
