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 (apart)

Can't reach to your heart (your heart)

When you say

That I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Am I your fire?

Your one (your one) desire

Yes I know (I know), it's too late

But I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Now I can see that we're falling apart

From the way that it used to be, yeah

No matter the distance, I want you to know that

That deep down inside of me

You are my fire

The one desire

You are, you are

You are, you are

Don't wanna hear you say

Ain't nothing but a heartache

Ain't nothing but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)

I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)

I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a heartache

Tell me why

Ain't nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way
