I Want It That Way

Yeah, uh

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe me when I say
That I want it that way

We're two worlds
Apart
So far from your heart
If you say
That I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothing 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

I'll be your fire
Your only desire
And I know
It's late
But I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

You are
My fire
My only desire
You are
You are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you say

Ain't nothing but a heartache
Yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
Ain't nothing but a mistake
No, don't wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say
Oh, yeah
I want it that way

Tell me why
Why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
It's just a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
Don't wanna hear you say, baby
I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way
