Max Martin - I Want It That Way lyrics

[Verse 1: Brian] You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way [Verse 2: 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 nothing but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say I want it that way [Verse 3: 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 nothing but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say I want it that way [Bridge: 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 [Verse 4: 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 [Chorus] Tell me why Ain't nothing but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say (don't want to 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 want to hear you say (never wanna hear you say) I want it that way I never want to hear you say I want it that way [Outro: AJ] Cause I want it that way
