Berikut lirik lagunya:

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.
And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
Anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No 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 you're breathing fire
And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever 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 believe it
That I would do anything for love
I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way
Tonight
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
And somedays I pray for silence
And somedays I pray for soul
Somedays 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
The one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires 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 fact
And 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
And I would do anything for love
Oh 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...
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just wont do that
But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life
No way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
Will 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?
I can do that!
Oh I can do that!
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?
I can do that
Oh oh now i can do that
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?
Now I can do that
Oh now I can do that
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot! (HOT)?
Will you take me places I've never known?
Now I can do that
Oh, oh now I can do that!
After a while to forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that its time to move on
I won't do that
I won't do that
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
I won't do that!
No, I won't do that!
Anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
