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
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're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance, I want you to know
Deep down inside of me

You are my fire
The one, desire
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
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
'Cause I want it that way
