I Want It That Way

Tell me why
The one desire

Believe when I say
Can't reach to your heart
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
I want it that way

Tell me why
No matter the distance I want you to know

Ain't nothin' but a heartache
I never wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
That deep down inside of me
When you say
But I want it that way

I never wanna hear you say
You are my fire
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
I want it that way
But we are two worlds apart
Tell me why
Am I your fire?
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
I never wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why

Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Now I can see that we've fallen apart
Tell me why

You are, you are, you are, you are
Yes I know, it's too late
Tell me why
Tell me why

I want it that way
I want it that way
(I wanna hear you say)
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
(I wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
Tell me why
Your one desire?
That I want it that way
Don't wanna hear you say
Tell me why
From the way that it used to be, yeah

Ain't nothin' but a mistake
