Yeah

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 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

 Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

 CHORUS (REPEAT)

 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 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
I want it that way

 CHORUS (REPEAT)

Cuz I want it that way
