BACKSTREET BOYS LYRICS "I Want It That Way"

Yeah

[Brian:] You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way

[Nick:] But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say That I want it that way

[Chorus:] 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

[AJ:] Am I your fire Your one desire Yes I know it's too late But I want it that way

[Chorus:] 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

[Kevin:] 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...

[Howie:] 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 (oh, 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 (don't wanna hear you say) I want it that way

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

[AJ:] 'Cause I want it that way
