What Was It That Meatloaf Wouldn't Do For Love?

First, he says that he would do anything for love, but then he says that he won't do that. Yet, never specifies what "that" is supposed to be.

He even says that he would go to hell and back, and I can't even fathom a request worse than that one.

My guess is that he won't put the toilet seat down for love.

Eat a salad or two? Write a decent song? Cut back on the melodramatic self-aggrandizing lyrics?
