I Want It That Way

[Songtext zu “I Want It That Way“]



[Intro]

Yeah-eh-eh



[Verse 1]

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

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 wanna hear you say

I want it that way



[Verse 2]

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 wanna hear you say

I want it that way



[Bridge]

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



[Reprise]

You are my fire

The one desire

You are (you are, you are, you are)



[Outro]

Don't wanna hear you

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

'Cause I want it that way
