I Want It That Way

You are my fire

The one desire

Believe when I say

I want it that way

When 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 nothing but a mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Tell me why (want it, want it that way)

(I want it that way)

Tell me why (want it, want it that way)

(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 wanna hear you say

I want it that way

Tell me why (want it, want it that way)

(I want it that way)

Tell me why (want it, want it that way)

(I want it that way)

Now I can see that we're fallin' 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

You're the one desire

You are (you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you, say!

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 mistake

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way
