"I Want It That Way" lyrics

Yeah-eh-heah
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 nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to 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 nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never want to 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 want to hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
I never want to 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 want to 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 want to hear you say
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way
