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

Am I your fire?

Your one desire

Yes, I know that 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 the way that it used to be

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

Don't wanna hear you say

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

I want it that way
