I Want It That Way Max Martin, Andreas Carlsson You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say I want it that way 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 Am I your fire Your one desire Yes I know it's too late But I wan't it that way Chorus 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 You are my fire The one desire You are, you are, you are, you are Don't want to hear you say Ain't nothing but a heart ache Ain't notheing but a mistake Don't wanna hear you say I never want to hear you say I want it that way Chorus Tell me why Ain't nothing but a heartache Ain't nothing but a mistake Tell me why I never want to hear you say I want it that way Cuz I want it that way
