I Want It That Way

(Yeah)

You are my fire

The one desire

Believe when I say

I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart

Can't reach to your heart

When you say

That I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Am I your fire?

Your one desire?

Yes, I know

It's too late

But I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Now I can see that we've fallen apart

From that way that it used to be, yeah

No matter the distance, I want you to know

That deep down inside of me

You are (you are)

My fire

The one (the one)

Desire

You are (you are, you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you

Ain't nothin' but a heartache (ain't nothin' but a hearthache)

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Oh, I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

(Tell me why)

Ain't nothin' but a heartache (tell me why)

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

(Tell me why)

I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way
