According to the lyrics of Meat Loafs Grammy-winning power ballad "Id Do Anything For Love (But I Wont Do That)," there are several things he would do for love, but there is one thing he wont do. The things he says he wont do in the song include:

• Forget the way you feel right now
• Forgive myself if we dont go all the way tonight
• Do it better than I do it with you
• Stop dreaming of you every night of my life
• See that its time to move on
• Be screwing around

The repeated line "I wont do that" is to reject the possibility of a specific future transgression. The meaning of "that" is the promise he made earlier in the verse.
