"I Want it That Way" Backstreet Boys

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 I 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

Am I, your fire?

Your one, desire?

Yes I know, it’s too late

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

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

That deep down inside

Of me…(hold)

You are, my fire

The one, desire

Believe, when I say

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

(slowing)

I want it that way
