Hello and welcome to Just Answer.

According to this link, http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=9529

"I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" was a phrase Daryl Hall

used when he was pressured to go along with the crowd against his wishes.

The link below has around 20 threads of general opinions based on listeners

interpretations:: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858531884/

An additional link:

This is all of the relevant information I have been able to find. If there is a more

concrete answer, I am confident another expert will post an additional answer, but I

do feel confident the above is correct.

Best,

Veronica
