on my way to work...
 

we've all heard that song by meatloaf, "I would do anything for love"

I'd Do Anything For Love (But 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 that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now-
Oh no - no way
Chorus:

I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No 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
And some days it don't come easy
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
And these are the days that never end.


And some nights your breathing fire
And some nights your carved in ice
Some nights your like nothing I've felt or seen before
Or will again


And maybe I'm crazy
Oh 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 belive it!-

Chorus:

That I would do anything for love
And I'll be there until 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 you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that...
And some days I pray for silence
And some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll


And some nights I lose the feeling
And some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls


And maybe I'm lonely
That's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only-
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 belive it-

Chorus:

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 then 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
No-No
No I won't do that


I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just 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

When you raise me up will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken 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 old?


Boy

I can do that
I can do that


Girl

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build 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've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?


Boy

I can do that
I can do that


Girl

After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer 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
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

Boy

I won't do that
I won't do that
Chours Anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that




I just really love that song... mostly I love the parts the girl sings.
It just seems to reach out and... just make me wanna fall in love.
That one line about being sick of black and white... I'm fairly certain that's one of the reasons I'm so fond of d00ds who have wacky hair colors. They'd be the ones who could "colorize my life."
It's something that crossed my mind on my way to work today.
