    Did we ever find out what he wouldn’t do? Hold hands in public? Butt stuff? Like, where is the line here? It was important enough to write a song about so it clearly was important.

    • Do it better than he does it with her
    • Stop dreaming of her every night of his life
    • Forget everything and see that it's time to move on
    • Screw around

    The things that Meat Loaf won't do for love are the things that are directly stated within the song immediately before he says he won't do them. It's not a mystery.

    So he won't let her down, give her up, he won't say goodbye, and he won't run around and hurt her?

    Toward the end of the song when the woman is singing she starts talking about the two of them needing to break up and move on and Meat Loaf starts saying “I won’t do that” over and over to each thing she says. So I always interpreted it as being about the idea of “if you love them let them go” but he’s saying he can’t do that.

    Acid is weird. You'll have points where you can feel completely normal and do things without issue, then all of a sudden you won't have a clue what's going on and be completely flummoxed by a movie apparently starring someone called "Meat Loaf".

    Edit: I can totally see a scenario where someone on acid is capable of posting on Reddit but it doesn't occur to them at all to Google something. But I can also see the OP making it up. None of us will actually know for certain.
