Is it normal I can't get over the fact that Meat Loaf uses the word "anything" and right afterwards invalidates it? What the hell was so bad that he wasn't willing to do for love? What love was that anyways??? What the fuck is "that" goddammit?!? Is it normal to be upset by this? Or "that".
You have to read between the lines but I always thought he meant he wouldn't have ass to ass double end dildo sex with the women in the music video.
I always thought it was some domestic chore, like changing the baby or putting up shelves.
Actually I didn't think that at all, but I'm trying to be more demure.
Forget the way you feel right now
Forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
Do it better than I do it with you, so long
Stop dreaming of you every night of my life

In addition, at the song's conclusion, the female vocalist predicts two other things that he will do: "You'll see that it's time to move on" and "You'll be screwing around". To both of these, he emphatically responds, "I won't do that!"
Listen to the whole song next time, not just the chorus.
I think he wouldn't swallow. It's a deal breaker for women so why not Mr Meatloaf?
It may be to leave her, because there was a contest online about this question where people guess and the contest maker announced that most people don't know what the answer is and if was that he would never leave her.
There actually some things he won't do for love, some of which he even identifies in the song.
