    Meatloaf was the only person able to sing Jim's lyrics.
    Didn't Jim Steinman write for Bonnie Tyler too? She sang his lyrics pretty well too.

    Yes, Meat is the one who has done most of Jim's songs. But others have done a few select, Bonnie having done several. (Total eclipse of the heart) Celine Deon, Air Supply, and he has wrote the music for musicals "whistle down the wind" and "tanz der vampire". \ I am totally blown away to be talking about Meat loaf, and jim steinman, and it not even their fan board.

    This sounds like momentary "Falling in Love",

    or falling into lust, but being honest about it.

    I btw, do love the song, cuz it is darned brilliant and beautiful sang by Meatoaf. And I guess I am revising my opinion about the lyrics irking me out, lol, perhaps the guy is just being honest and ... erm ... decent in doing so.

    So ... on the amateur-psychologist side .. can a relationship like that last, or should they just break-up? what-ya-think?

    Well V in the song, the girl is leaving, so apparently She can't live with it. For me, if i guy said that, then ok, I kow where i stand. But u can't make someone love u, and i wouldn't even try.So go into knowing that , or get out while u can.

    Meat has other songs on the Dead Ringer for Love CD, called "I'll kill u if u don't come back" "More than u deserve",. He in love with a girl who cheats on him. Love hurts sometimes.

    I adore Meat Loaf. And horrors, Iam 62. But in the morning when I wake up Iam 18, so its ok. Meatloaf is beyond cool. He didnt write the song but he and only he can sing it.How about my favorite by him, Ill do anything for love, but I wont do that. Now that gives you pause for thought. Some times Naughty thoughts. Well, hang in there, glad you are a music lover. SandiI love the bat so I put it in cause its cute

    OK for fear of starting a Vincent, here goes,

    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

    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

    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


    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! 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?
    I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!

    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?
    I can do that! oh oh now, I can do that!
    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
    I won?t do that! no 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

    Vivamus: I love Meatloaf but this is one of my favorites

    For Crying Out Loud
    Solo Piano: Roy Bittan

    Bass: Kasim Sulton
    Drums: John Wilcox
    Background Vocals: Rory Dodd
    Arrangement: Steve Margoshes, Jim Steinman

    and Philadelphia Orchestra

    I was lost till you were found
    But I never know how far down
    I was falling
    Before I reached the bottom
    I was cold and you were fire
    And I never knew how the pyre
    Could be burning
    On the edge of the ice field

    And now the chilly California wind
    Is blowing down our bodies again
    And we're sinking deeper and deeper
    In the chilly California sand
    Oh I know you belong
    Inside my aching heart
    And can't you see my faded Levis
    Bursting apart
    And don't you hear me crying:
    "Oh Babe, don't go"
    And don't you hear me screaming
    "How was I to know?"

    I'm in the middle of nowhere
    Near the end of the line
    But there's a border to somewhere waiting
    And there's a tankful of time
    Oh give me just another moment
    To see the light of the day
    And take me to another land where
    I don't have to stay
    And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
    And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
    Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you

    I was damned and you were saved
    And I never knew how enslaved
    I was kneeling
    In the chains of my master
    I could laugh but you could cry
    And I never knew just how high
    I was flying
    Ah, with you right above me
    And now the chilly California wind
    Is blowing down our bodies again
    And we're sinking deeper and deeper
    In the chilly California sand
    Oh I know you belong
    Inside my aching heart
    And can't you see my faded Levis
    Bursting apart
    And don't you hear me crying:
    "Oh Babe, don't go"
    And don't you hear me screaming
    "How was I to know?"

    I'm in the middle of nowhere
    Near the end of the line
    But there's a border to somewhere waiting
    And there's a tankful of time
    Oh give me just another moment
    To see the light of the day
    And take me to another land where
    I don't have to stay
    And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
    And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
    Open up the sky and let eh planet that I love shine through
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you

    For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
    For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
    My oh my
    For that
    I thank you

    For taking in the sun when I feel so cold
    For giving me a child when my body is old
    And don't you know
    That I need you

    For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
    For finding me a highway and for driving me home
    And you got to know
    For that
    I serve you

    For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
    For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
    And you got to know
    For that
    I want you

    For taking and for giving and for playing the game
    For praying for my future in the days that remain
    Oh Lord
    For that
    I hold you
    Ah, but most of all
    For crying out loud
    For that
    I love you
    Ah, but most of all
    For crying out loud
    For that
    I love you
    Ah, but most of all
    For crying out loud
    For that
    I love you
    When you're crying out loud
    You know
    I love you
