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

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 desire

Yes, 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’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, you are)

Don’t wanna hear you

Ain’t nothing but a heartache

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

I never wanna hear you say

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 (don’t wanna hear you say)

I want it that way

Tell me why

Ain’t nothing but a heartache

Ain’t nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say 

(Never wanna hear you say it)

I want it that way

Cause I want it that way
