Lyrics

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 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 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
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (Aww, 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 (I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way
