I Want It That Way

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
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

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 that it's too late
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

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 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

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

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
