Ok, people, I've asked this question before and I'm asking it again on
this mailing list;
Has anybody else noticed that the only romantic situation that fits into
Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That" is that of
Ranma and Akane?
I mean Ranma would do anything for Akane ( battle princes, dress in drag,
take ridicules amounts of damage etc...) but there is one thing that he
just won't do, admitt to his true feelings.
It doesn't fit completely, but it fits quite well.
Just in case people don't know the words...
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
(written by Jim Steinman, Sung by Meatloaf, Probably copyrighted by both)
And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lies 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 I've ever seen before
Or will again
Maybe I'm crazy
But it's crazy and its 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 believe it! -
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 annd 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...
Somedays I pray for silence
Somedays I pray for sould
Somedays I pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling
Some nights I have control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls
Maybe I'm 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 wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true -
You better believe it -!
That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a face
I would do anything for love!
And there'll 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 that you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that...
But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Ever 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 the 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 colourize my life I'm so sick of black and whit?
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 cate to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot -?
Will you take mme places I've never known?
Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl:
After a while you'll forget everything
I was a brief interlude
And a mudsummer 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
