Well, there's a lyric in "Everything I do I do it for you":

You can't tell me it's not worth trying for
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more
I would fight for you
I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you
I'd die for you...

I could be really pedantic here and say that she not only wrote a song like "Anything for Love" but this song as well...
