Lyrics of I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys

intro

Yeah

verse

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

verse

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

verse

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

bridge

Now I can see that we've fallen 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

bridge

You are my fire
The one desire
You are (you are, you are, you are)

verse

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 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

chorus

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
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

outro

'Cause I want it that way
Writer(s): Martin Max Sandberg, Andreas Mikael Carlsson
