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

I 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

That 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

That I want it that way

Now I can see that we're falling 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

Believe when I say

You are, you're the only 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

That I want it that way

Tell me why

Don't wanna hear you say

Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say 

That I want it that way
