I'm so Fucking happy I found this been searching for this song for years. Didn't know the proper spelling for his last name. In 2012 realized that I could utilize Google by typing in lyrics that I remembered. When this poped up in the search results my heart was over joyed! I really am a true fan. My women found it for me online were purchasing it as I type. I'm so excited to hear it. YouTube is skipping badly can't enjoy it. But hearing the 30's I did was pure melted chocolate to the heart!
I remember someone asking me what he's talking about when he says, I Can't Do That... and I said it's pretty much summing up his vulnerability and emotional distance, and his trust issues...he's having difficulty committing to her... He Can't Expose his feelings and heart. Anybody have a different take on this song...?
Lol I so agree with many of the people on here its been a longggg while till I heard it on my cassette tape I have many others as well :0) very goooood r&b song for my taste thanku for postin up an oldie but goodie :0)
This song reminds me of when I got my 1st apartment 10 years ago. I played this song back-to-back in a empty living room with no heat... Luv this album!
My sister and I looked all over for this song we didn't know the name just a few parts of the lyrics, like @form109 I heard it on BET a few times in the 90's i believe! thanks for posting this!!!!
The singer Meatloaf came out with a #1 song "I would do anything for love but I won't do that"...no one knows ...each individual person listening can interpret what they won't and can't do for love
What is it that he cant give? What doesnt he have? I've been nuts about this song since it first came out. But I could never figure it out. Help! anybody?!
I love Stephen Simmonds! I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. The album Spirit Tales is absolutely awesome. Sadly he doesn't receive nearly enough credit.
Ya this song was excellent. He had a really good voice its sad that these ppl with great talent make one great song and never heard from again. I really would like to see him come back though, but even if he did it would be kinda hard because its only a hand full who knows who he is. I'd buy his slbum though lol!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but what does he mean by the lyrics "I can't help the way I feel; I can't give what I don't have; Anything you want me to do I will; but I can't do that."? What is it that he can't do?
Sounds like a moment of Honesty and Clarity, in which he's expressing his hesitance/reluctance to fully committ emotionally. When one's been severely disenchanted in response to showing their vulnerability, it can cause a 'Too Good to Be True' paranoia that tends to sabotauge the next prospect, no matter how sincere the presentation may appear. Trust issues do that to one.
The States aren't in a sufficient 'State' of readiness for the Real. Turn on your local television channel depicting 'trendy music'. This sort of honesty and raw vulnerability would annihalate the trend of 'drama, drama, and MORE drama'---which sells right along with sex, drugs, and scandal. The whole world would change if individuals in Coupledom were to REALLY be real with each other, and the Bubble Gum which sells like Hotcakes would be out of business.
What can't he do?

I noticed this video in the summer of 2000.
I went out to buy the album in 2000 and it is great. To feel his music you should listen to the album. He has symbolic things here.
Look at the video at 1:08/3:49 and notice the bike is chained up, but the tire is missing!
I believe he may be talking about the dillema of maybe marrying this girl and keeping his music career alive.
So maybe the girl represents something in his life?
