I'm 37 now, and I remember being 3 or 4 and liking this when it came on the radio,,My Dad had his Stereo system in the Den and we played the radio every day and night.We lived in California at the time. Great album.A 3 or 4 year old in the late 70's living in California and hearing this song on his dad's Radio.HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still onre of my Favourite Tunes!!!,always will be.
12 year old speaking on behalf of my generation, i apologize that tweens and teens mistake Justin Beiber, Rap pop, hip hop.. for good music. i am only one persone trying to convince people that there is REAL and GREAT music out there. but they just laugh in my face and call me a loser for what i listen to. But that won't stop me of trying to get the word out about good music
im trying to say i am that 5% that still listens to good music and im trying to get the word out :)
I like meat loaf but some of the songs need you to be in the right mood, I think i truly great song takes you to that mood and sticks you there, but thats just my personal view :P
i dont get people these days listening to the shitty pop and rave music but people really need to wake up and listen to proper espically meatloaf and all of the other old rock bands LONG LIVE ROCK!
@Gamer1Guys That's just opinions mate - comments like that are just pointless. There's good songs/artists/writers in all genres of music, whether it be your first choice or not.
14: does age realy matter? The thing that matters is that , we, know what good music is, what it sounds like, and how it feels. I`ve realised that 80% of all modern (pop) music is made only for money and fame. But the people dont realise that theres so much more in the world to listen to! 90`s were great, 80`S were great, 70`s were great, heck even 60`s- music rocks! Dont be sad, one day people will realise, and we will have good music on the radio, like my parents did.
A few years back, about 44 now, I was told something when I was married to my wife and it seems to have worked. You have to expect to give 110% while the the other person gives only 50% and if you both do that then maybe your marriage might work. Anyway, that has worked for us and maybe it would work for those of you who expect the other to give as much as you do or more.
@ChiefSailor1948 Words of Wisdom,my friend, if you give more than you receive then you`re on the right road. Too many people want EVERYTHING. The Media have brainwashed them to believe that THEY are the most important people on the Planet. Not so. If you truely love someone then you ALWAYS put their need sbefore your own AND if they do the same then you`ve both got it made !!!.
reminds me of my ex....coz she was my 1st love....theres only 1 girl that i will ever love and that was so many years ago...but she cheated on me.......this is still my favourite meat laof song
I really totallyu agree with this song, you never get everything you're looking for, because you can't give 100% of yourself either, so be content with 75%.
It's always two out of three, regardless of what relationships, If you love someone then it'll be 2 out of 3 still You'll want them, and Love them, but in reality you don't need them to survive. xP
Im 14 and I have been listening to the Police sence I was 10. First band/solo singer I liked was Meatloaf. I think todays music is just shit being yelled. It is awful, I don't see how most kids my age listen to it. Music from in between 1955 to 1980 is some of the best music in the world. I wish more people my age understood what they are missing. Thank you to all the people around my age who listen to this!!!! We know REAL music!
My mom had this album when I was young, and I adored the music, but the cover scared the crap out of me, now I see it and i'm like... what was I seeing back then?! :p
This song remindes of of the girl that I was engaged to in 1978. We knew each other since we were 8 years old, But while I was off in the Navy she left me,
Heck I'm going thru something right now with someone that I have been with for over 10 years and this sounds exactly what they are telling me with their actions even tho their words are saying different. It says alot.. specially when ya just don't have the words it helps to find them. Love this song! Plus its a great song to sing along with also.
@budpimpster I'm not sure if there's one more album left between Meatloaf and Jim Steinman; after the lawsuit that followed Bat out of Hell 3, I think Jim wants more control over his music; that's one of the reasons he branched out with his Dream Machine. (Not to mention that Bat III had very poor album sales) Meatloaf has also said that Hang Coll Teddy Bear is probably his last studio album
After 15 yrs of 2 out of 3, I still cry tears instead of icicles. I have never had a cold heart even when neglected. I need to realize he's not God or the coup deville. But I love him, want him, and need him. What does a woman do?
My mum always used to play Meat Loaf when we did housework on the weekend, when I was little, I basically grew up on Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi and Pink Floyd...so these songs will always be special to me.
Besides, not only is he a god singer, bu he's a good actor too, he was great in fight club and brilliant in Rocky Horror Picture Show (which I think I saw when I was like...8 or 9, it confused me somewhat as a child lol).
ya know, jimmy steinman didnt get nearly enough credit. he was the brains behind the entire thing. he wrote the songs. meat loaf was just the 300 pound guy with a huge, amazing voice who sang his songs. together they were perfect. it should have been meat loaf and STEINMAN!
i listen to and think of me n my baby daddy he is truly 2 out 3 i want him i need him and i love him i am just no in love with him anymore mainly cause he cheated and put his hands on me but he is the father of my baby that is due soon i hope we can at least be some wat of a family for this baby my little dakota lamar that is almost here
@TheAmandalowery I think your little dakota lamar will be okay. You can't control what your partner does, but you can always control how much love you give to the baby. Just be a great Mom.
I'm 40 now, was 8 then and still figured out that 2 ( i want you. i need you) out of 3 (but there ain't no way i'm ever gonna love you) ain't bad. If this song stirs up 30 yr. old awe then look up another 1977 hit ...Leo Sayers.... When I need you.
you understand that being in love with someone actually nulls the idea that this song should be for you and that person.. he doesn't love "her" in the lyric.. he would like to but can't.. he cares, but just can't bring himself to love her after a long period of her being "cold" to him.
@farehambelle If you love your boyfriend but think he's two out of three....which one of those doesn't he fill? Or are you saying your boyfriend doesn't love you and only wants/needs you.
my mum has just passed away and she loved meatloaf i love some of his music too hes a good singer xx

@budpimpster I'm not sure if there's one more album left between Meatloaf and Jim Steinman; after the lawsuit that followed Bat out of Hell 3, I think Jim wants more control over his music; that's one of the reasons he branched out with his Dream Machine. (Not to mention that Bat III had very poor album sales) Meatloaf has also said that Hang Coll Teddy Bear is probably his last studio album
