I Want It That Way
 
Music and lyrics by Max Martin and 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
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

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

  Chorus

Now I can see that we're fallen apart
From the way that used to be
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...

Don't wanna hear you
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

  Chorus twice

'Cause I want it that way
