I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Wasted Youth

 

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Jim Steinman

 

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, 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, oh I won't do that

 

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

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

 

Maybe I'm crazy, but 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, and I'll be there til 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

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

 

I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of

But I just won't do that

(repeats 3x)

 

(Solo)

 

Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul

Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll

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

 

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 fact

I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back

 

But I'll never do it better than 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 that

 

I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of

But I just won't do that

(repeats 7x)

 

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

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do that

 

[Girl:] 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?

 

[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! Oh oh, now 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! Oh oh now, I can do that!

 

[Girl:] Will you cater to every fantasy I got?

Will ya 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! Oh oh now, 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! No 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! 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

 

 

 

Wasted Youth

Jim Steinman

 

[spoken]:

I remember everything!

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday

I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar

I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster

But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel

I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster

But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy

It required the perfect combination of the right power chords

And the precise angle from which to strike

The guitar bled for about a week afterward

And the blood was sough dark and rich, like wild berries

The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red

The guitar bled for about a week afterward, but it rung out beautifully

And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before

So I took my guitar, and I smashed it against the wall

I smashed it against the floor

I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader

Smashed it against the hood of a car

Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson

The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat

And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom

Mummy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight

Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows

Right upto the foot of their bed

I raised the guitar high above my head

And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down

upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up, screaming "Stop!"

"Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do ya think you're doin'?

That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"

And I said: "God dammit daddy!

You know I love you, but you got a hell of a lot to learn about rock 'n roll"
