that means i wont de value myself for you xx
"That" means I will not lose the person I am just because I am in love. I will remain who I am. Love or me leave me.
'That' means ... no I won't give you the last square of chocolate in the block. Well, not USUALLY. :-P
I won't give you my last Rolo!
Lie, cheat, murder. I won’t do that. Or would I? If my love were strong enough? Or my fear great enough? I don’t know what I am capable of. For my children – probably anything. For my husband, whom I love dearly, may be less. An impossible question. Until it happens who knows what lies within their capabilities?
I won't give up who I am to suit who you wish I was. I won't be someone I am not. Been there, done that. Life is much happier lived if you can live it with someone who loves and values you for the person you truly are. Not the person they want you to be.
Well, there is a whole slew of things that I will not do, fill it in with you imagination.
But I will tell you this, if you love me, you will never ask for my Dr. Pepper
I won't clean house on demand. I won't cook just because you suggest that you are hungry. And I won't do your laundry if I'm not doing mine at the same time! I won't be your servant!

Wow, my "that" has changed recently with the breakup of my marriage. I let myself become a person who allowed my wife to have whatever she wanted. Mainly, because it was easier than arguing with her for weeks before I gave in. But this only delayed and amplified the difficulties.
So now, my "that" that I won't do is to allow myself to be dominated in my relationships what I will do is to hold firm in my beliefs.
How perfect the timing...last night while watching American Idol, one of the singers sang this song and after the song my wife turned to me and said..."What is "THAT?"". I told her the "THAT" is vague on purpose...it allows the listener no matter what the background or culture to identify with the song. If we are honest, we all know what "That" is...and it is different for each of us.

That is the ultimate sacrifice. The decision between true love and flesh and blood. Do you listen to family, when they warn and pull you away from any sign of danger? Or do you follow your heart?
Yes 11 seconds to spare :) WIN
I told myself time and again I wouldn't do that. For Him. But here I stare at the dead body in front of me. And wonder...Did this really have to happen? What reason did He give to explain why I had to kill?
"I love Meatloaf and I love his recording of this song - written and composed by Jim Steinman."
I think "that" is purposely vague because I think the answer can change depending where you are in life. As a young adult, I probably would have done anything for my first love. As it is, I found myself conforming to his ideas of what I should be like. Ick - can we all say step-ford wife?
As I grew to middle age, I discovered a deeper, more meaningful love - not only for my husband, but for myself. I've learned I will not change my inner core to satisfy anyone but myself.
However, if my hubby were in a life-or-death situation, I'm sure nothing would be off the table. I'm furiously loyal and the love I feel for my hubby of 20 years only continues to grow through time.
My "that" is lying. I won't do that for anyone, especially those I love.

C. Beth you are free to use any of my winning posts for whatever you like. They were for you anyway. :)
For guys everywhere: DON'T CARRY HER PURSE. It will be the death of you. Just say no, even for love, even if she is trying that perfect dress on, just say no. ~Mary

Ooh - have to be honest and say I never liked that song anyway although I did lke lots of other Meatloaf songs. And it was probably the "that" that annoyed me most about it :)
"I would do anything for love, but I won't do...the chicken dance or the macarena at our wedding."
I won't give up the comics until I am done reading them.

I will celebrate 6 years of celibacy in a couple months. It was very important to me that I wouldn't do "IT" or "THAT" with another man unless I was married to him. It is by far the best decision I ever made in my life. I have so much peace knowing I deserve what God has for me and that includes the man He created for me not somebody I picked on my own!
I'd do anything but put on a bathing suit in public.
I will never again settle. Loving someone does not always mean you have to give up your own hopes and dreams. It is both giving and taking. "That" is doing all the giving and never receiving.
Do I want to write about this or that? Hmmm...can't decide...that might be good, but maybe not. O yes, that...hmmm....no. That would be excellent, but maybe too lovey dovey. I got it, I got it...that is just that...that!
"I would do anything for love, but I wouldn't love you all the time. It's not because I wouldn't like the idea of doing it, it's just seriously because it's impossible. Nobody can do that so don't tell me you can."
It would be a pain to sing and it doesn't quite fit into the song, but I'm sure it's doable somehow.

I would do anything for love, but I won't do... -my husband once filled this in with giving up his Mountain Dew...haha, but he DID! His health was being effected negatively by drinking that stuff so much! He really drank too much and he gave it up! But, that's not my "that".
Here's my true answer
--start timer---
I would do anything for love, but I won't strip myself of my own desires, my own feelings, or my own soul. I once made the mistake of sacrificing everything for one man- everything I always wanted, I gave up for him at that time and it was miserable. I am so happy I was given the strength from those who REALLY loved me to overcome this time and escape that situation. Now I have that real love with someone that I can fight for in the right ways. He would never ask me to give up myself.
I won't write incorrectly on 4 March; it's National Grammar Day today.
Therefore,I will cutting a dash and capitalizing on perhaps one of the most important holidays celebrated by our nation founded on sound grammatical principles. (Remember, we were founded on principles and not principals, who are administrators though not necessarily your ‘pals’.)
To celebrate, I encourage all of you to send just one email, one text message, or write one Facebook post that is grammatically sound. If we all do a little, we can change the English speaking world!

I won't eat mayonnaise.
I will no longer let another person make me feel like less of a human being then I am. I am tired of people beating others down to make themselves feel better.
I am who I am and you can not be rude, selfish or inconsiderate to me anymore.
'That' is a hard thing to pin down as there is very little I wouldn't and haven't done for love.
I'm not so full of myself that I would say there are things I wouldn't do as a point of principle because there would always be a situation in which I would do 'That'.
Maybe 'That' would be not eating black (blood) pudding. But if my wife's life was in danger and that was the requirement then I'd do it.
Gosh. Why did I have to take this question so seriously?
I would do anything for love, but only if it fits within my comfort zone. Anything "scary" is off limits.
Thankfully, I'm working on confronting my fears and hope to overcome them very soon. I can do this!
I would do anything for love but I won't do that. That means that I won't lose my integrity. Once you lose your integrity you lose the love you have for yourself.

That means, I won't give up my religion for you.
Hmm, what is "that"? Day in and day out, I give you everything I have, and still you ask for more. You push back every single limit I've ever set; you step confidently over the lines I've drawn in the sand. What is "that"? I don't know...yet.
I won't give up myself for you. You love me the way I am, don't you?
I won't give up my happiness for you. Been there, done that.
I will not give up my scribblings, musings, notes, word docs, shorts, poems, flashes, half or part-written novels, sketches, songs, creative writing classes, seminars, theatre plays, radio plays, tv spec scripts. NOR MY WRITING!
I will not:
Commit murder
Give up the last piece of pizza
Say I like sports, when I actually hate them.
Cut my hair to suit his taste
Lose my identity as a woman and a person.
I wont settle for something that doesnt feel absolutely right.
'That' means: no I won't eat brussel sprouts EVER during our relationship.
It's terribly cliché, but it's that part of me that I feel is most integral to me. My integrity, I think it is. I've come close to giving that up, but couldn't in the end. Lost relationships over it, but I'm true to myself, and happier for it.
I would do anything for love. I think it's true. There is nothing I wouldn't do for love. I almost said I wouldn't change myself for you, but then I realized I'm already doing that.
I would do anything for love... but I wont do that...
I won't stop loving myself fully. Because if I don't love me first, how can I love you completely?
I've tried changing who I am for love. It didn't work. I won't do that again.
I will not change who I am so that someone will love me. Ever.
THAT is whatever adventure my thrill-seeking husband seeks out - skydiving, bungee jumping, kite surfing and the like. No I won't do THAT but I will watch.
i won't ever ever ever let you frive my car. mostly because its bad enough already. and i won't ever stop being me. so don't even ask.
For love, I will not give up my sense of self. For love, I will not stop my dreams, lose my values, or disrespect myself. For love, I will not allow that person to come between me and my child.
Agree to/sign a ridiculous pre-nup.
Watch "Platoon."
I'm sorry, honey. But it will never. Ever. Happen.
I wouldn't keep you in dark nor let the shimmering light gleam on those mesmerising eyes.If a place you could value forever,for my heart it is.
I won't give up the horse! She always comes first. Sorry, boyfriend.
"That" means I won't do anything for you that would diminish my ability to look myself in the eye in the mirror or my ability to sleep soundly at night.
"That" also means drowning in my own tears over you...
THAT, I WON'T DO!
I think "that" means "letting a woman get the best of me"
That which diminishes my desire to do anything for love.
