After the commercial success of Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and earning a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", Meat Loaf nevertheless experienced some difficulty establishing a steady career within the United States. The key to this success was his popularity in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He received the 1994 Brit Award in the United Kingdom for best-selling album and single. He appeared in the 1997 film Spice World and he ranked 23rd for the number of weeks spent on the UK charts in 2006. He ranks 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles include Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulsen in Fight Club (1999). His early stage work included dual roles in the original Broadway cast of The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared in the musical Hair, both on and Off-Broadway.

Couldn't Have Said It Bette
Meat Loaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
Little lady, I think there's something on your mind
I've known you long enough to know
The words are not that hard to find
And the harder you try and the longer you go
Well there's nothing but love in those eyes any more
You know what to say but you never know how
You can keep your mouth shut because it doesn't really matter right now
I will guide you all the way
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
You have the right to remain silent
I'll get the lights, you get that smile
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
I see the angels, they're standing right outside your door
They're watching over me, they're watching over us all
You can send them home tonight, because you won't need them anymore
In your arms I think I've found the safest place to fall
When I step in the door and I stare at your face
There are so many things that I wish I could say
Well I struggle with words but they put up a fight
You can keep your mouth shut, because it doesn't really matter tonight
I will guide you all the way
Because I know exactly what you're trying to say
You have the right to remain silent
I'll get the lights
You get that smile
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
And I know you feel the same
You've been searching for the words,
Now you know what to say
Just say nothing
Don't say a word
Silence is gold
Don't say a word
This is the moment we've been waiting for
If I exercise my right
I will take your body language and hold it against you tonight
And I know you feel the same
I've wondered all my life, if this moment comes would I know what to say
Then you say nothing at all
So many times I stumbled on the words I wanted to say
Then you say nothing at all
So many thoughts, that I should have just let my heart explain
Then you say nothing at all
So many ways we could turn the words around
Then you say nothing at all
So many nights our hearts came crashing to the ground
Then you say nothing at all
So many dreams that are finally coming true
Well, I couldn't have said it better myself
Now you finish me off when you finish my thoughts the way you do
You say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else
The lyrics of Meat Loaf's song "Couldn't Have Said It Better" describe a moment between two people where words are unnecessary. The singer's partner has something on their mind, but they cannot find the right words to express it. The singer assures their partner that they understand and that they don't need to say anything. The chorus suggests that love can be communicated non-verbally, and that sometimes saying nothing is the best option.
The second verse describes the singer's struggle with finding the right words to express their own feelings. Despite the difficulty, they reassure their partner that they will guide them through the moment because they understand exactly what they are trying to say. The bridge of the song suggests that the two are on the same page, and that physical communication can be just as effective as verbal communication. The song ends with the two partners understanding each other without having to say anything.
Overall, the lyrics of "Couldn't Have Said It Better" suggest that words aren't always necessary to convey love and understanding. Sometimes silence can be more powerful than speaking.

So many ways we could turn the words around
There are a lot of different ways to express ourselves, but finding the right way is difficult
So many nights our hearts came crashing to the ground
There have been times when our emotions have gotten the best of us and led to pain
So many dreams that are finally coming true
We've both had lofty aspirations, and now they're finally being realized
Now you finish me off when you finish my thoughts the way you do
You're able to finish my sentences and understand me on a level that no one else can
Just say nothing
Sometimes silence really is golden
Don't say a word
Our love doesn't always require words to be understood
Silence is gold
Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones that go unsaid
This is the moment we've been waiting for
This is the culmination of all our hopes and dreams
If I exercise my right
I have a choice to speak or remain silent, and I choose silence
I will take your body language and hold it against you tonight
I'll use your nonverbal cues to understand your thoughts and feelings
And I know you feel the same
I'm confident that you understand me as well
You've been searching for the words,
You've been trying to express yourself but struggling to find the right words
Now you know what to say
You've finally found the words you've been searching for
