"I'd Lie for You (And That's the Truth)" is a song composed and written by Diane Warren, and recorded by Meat Loaf and Patti Russo. The song was released in 1995 as the first single from the album Welcome to the Neighbourhood. The single release reached No. 2 in the United Kingdom and No. 13 in the United States.

The music video for "I'd Lie for You" was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and photographed by Daniel Pearl. The storyline appears to start out as a continuation of the "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" video, beginning with the same motorcycle ride into the sunset from the end of "I'd Do Anything…," but quickly morphs into a big budget concept piece that borrows heavily from the Indiana Jones films series. Meat Loaf and the girl companion continue riding into the desert, now inexplicably pursued by a helicopter, while being simultaneously observed by a chiseled-looking Indiana Jones-type "action hero" and a foreign military despot (played by Xander Berkley). The motorcycle riders then abruptly vanish, only to reappear in the camp of the relic hunter who has recently discovered an ancient mask.

The 'hero' type (played by Brett Cullen, an actor who has sung backup for Meat Loaf) immediately takes interest in Meat Loaf's girl (Dana Patrick back from the previous video, lip-syncing this time to vocals supplied by Patti Russo), and she in him. What follows is standard adventure mayhem and clichéd perilous situations featuring lots of vehicle chases, and large explosions, while Meat Loaf alternates between playing the hero's sidekick, and singing to his beautiful love interest of his devotion from afar, as the other man seduces her. The heroine even sings her lines to the other man. In the end, the adventurer chooses the treasure over the girl and flees, leaving Meat Loaf to once again get the girl. The video was criticized for being too complex and the action scenes being over the top.
