I Want It That Way

I Want It That Way (Max Martin/Andreas Carlsson)

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 

 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 

Guess 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 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) 

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) 

(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
