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 Chorus 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 Guess I know it's too late But I want it that way Chorus Now I can see that we've fallen apart From the way that it used to be, yeah No matter the distance I want you to know 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, hey Ain't nothin' but a heartache (hey, heh, yeah) Ain't nothin' 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 nothin' but a heartache) Tell me why (Ain't nothin' but a mistake) (Tell me why) (Don't wanna hear you say) I want it that way Tell me why (Ain't nothin' but a heartache) (Ain't nothin' but a mistake) Tell me why I never wanna hear you say (hear you say, yeah) I want it that way 'Cause I want it that way
