I Want It That Way Lyrics
[Intro: AJ]
Yeah-eh-eh
[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: All]
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
[Verse 3: AJ & Brian]
Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes, I know it's too late
But I want it that way
[Chorus: All]
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
[Bridge: Kevin, Kevin & AJ]
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, Nick & All]
You are my fire
The one desire
You are (You are, you are, you are)
Don't wanna hear you
[Break: All]
Ain't nothing but a heartache (Say, hey, yeah)
Ain't nothing but a mistake (Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (Oh, yeah)
I want it that way
[Chorus: All]
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
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Never wanna hear you say, yeah)
I want it that way
[Outro: AJ]
'Cause I want it that way
