A mystery I'm pondering this evening

This is a question for the ages. If you can solve you will be immortalized as the king or queen of the forum for the year. I’m also willing to mail you out a nickel. It’s all I can afford this month, so I’m sorry.

Anyway, in the meatloaf song “I would do anything for love”, he repeatedly says “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that.” He never tells us what “that” is.

What is “that”?

I mean mine refuses to watch Real Housewives of Miami. He’s ungrateful. He says repeatedly that he “has standards” and I’m like “Oh please, you watch Babylon 5 like you have standards.” :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

He says he would, would, do anything for love but he wont do that.

Like saying I would give you a nickle for the answer, but I wont.

He’s saying he would do anything, but he wont do that.

I would do anything for love, but I won’t wear platform flip flops and butt hugging leather pants.

I think I understand what you are saying now, after pondering for a minute.

It’s an unusual statement, and a problem for english grammar. He’s saying he would do anything meaning he’s willing to do any one thing, not everything or nothing, but any one thing for love, like fine ok killing for instance, but he wont do that. If he said I will do everything for love he would have to say so I must do those!
